▲ 37 r/diabetes
I’m freaking out!! 3 months ago I was diagnosed as diabetic, probable Type 2, with an A1C of 8.9. Had my first 3 month follow-up today, I’m down 35 pounds and my A1C is at 5.7!!!
I had an A1C of exactly 5.2 for many many years. This past December and January were horrendous for me and I was basically eating myself to death in that time frame. I put on like 15 pounds and got very sick at the end of January. Doc said I was diabetic and put me on Metformin. Fast forward 3 months and looks like I’m doing okay for now. A1C at 5.7, my doctor was floored. She wants to keep me at the same Metformin dose for the next 6 months.
