I'm Carol. I'm 54. I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. A1C is only 6.9 so no meds. I'm to handle this with diet and exercise. I am overweight and need to lose 40 lbs. I'm going to diabetes education classes once a month for the next 6 months. Anything you can do to guide me through this will be appreciated.

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.
