Hi my name is Joni and this morning I was officially diagnosed as T2, w/A1C of 7.9%, BG of 180 and put on Metformin - I am so disappointed with myself! A 52yr old female, 5'6", 227lbs - my Dr. has warned me for the past year to lose the weight or else - and here I am - I have taken my health for granted. My Dr. says to start the Metformin immediately...very scared. I really don't want to start the meds for fear of it leading to more meds. In reading some of the other posts I see that there is still light at the end of this tunnel (and it isn't a train coming my way) - I will get back on track with the exercise and portion control and hopefully turn this around. I am blessed to have come across this forum and am looking forward to learning more about getting through this. Thank you.
