He posted the results of the bloodwork he took the day of diagnosis.
Blood sugar (don't recall if it was fasting or not - but it likely was) 162.
A1C - 7.2
Since that day, I have not had any "sweets," and have been limiting my carb intake - and picking carbs that are high fiber and/or low glycemic load. My goal is to be under 50 net carbs (I've been beating that consistently), with blood sugar staying below 140.
I've missed being under 140 three times (in 3+ weeks), but my average BG, deliberately looking for highs by testing at 1, 2, and 3 hours after each new food item is 109, and the last two days my fasting BG has been below 100.
My doctor's comments (to the note I wrote him at two weeks reporting very similar numbers): "sugars seem reasonable." This, from the man who told me to check every once in a while a couple of hours after eating to make sure they were under 180, and told me to check with my spouse (who regularly clocks 230-300 two hours after eating) to see what I should be eating.
