Hi all I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a week ago. I underwent a distal pan create tiny 2 years ago so I New this was a possibility. Anyway my numbers were still high while taking the metformin but working out has helped the past two days. My numbers today were 114. So question, what numbers are you happy with. My husband who is not diabetic checked his blood sugar and it was would that be unrealistic for me or should I expect meds to bring it down to such numbers? I'm not yet on insulin but I might consider it. Also, I wish it didn't hurt so much when I pinched my finger. What machine are you using and how do you like it?
