Last week I was diagnoised with type II diabetes. I weighed in at 267 pounds. My glucose reading was 230 (normal is 107 or below). Since then I've cut out sugar completely as well as carbs. It will be a little over week tomorrow and my weight is at 252, my sugar count has gone down dramatically. for example, today before dinner it was 108, 2 hrs after it was 128. It's getting lower. I haven't started the blood sugar medication my dr. put me on because I'm afraid it will make it go down really low. Am I really diabetic? My A1C was at a 9.7, normal is below 7. On my present course of weight loss and diet and judging from what I've wrote here, do you think it's possible to reverse the diabetes type II condition? and should i take the medication with the numbers I've mentioned here?
