So On December 9th I had my annual Firefighters physical exam. My Dr. noticed my urine sample was high and ordered more blood work. The next day as I am getting off duty the Dr. calls and informs me I am a type 2 diabetic. My A1C was 10.5. and because it was over 7.0 I was put on disability until I could get it under control. At diagnosis I weighed 235. My personal Dr put me on 1000MG Metformin twice daily and 10MG Jardiance. I have since lowered my A1C to 8.0 in a month and my bs has been averaging in the 80's. I am shooting to return to work by the first of March. I am down 26 pounds since but have no energy.

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.
