still in shock
 

I was just diagnosed yesterday with type II diabetes as my A1C is 6.9. I started Metformin and am learning as much as I can. I appreciate these forums.

Welcome to the Forum! :)

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.
