Hello I am also new to dietbet and I just joined this group. My last A1C was 10.2 and I was started on insulin. I hadn't been doing them before that, just wasn't looking after myself. If they hadn't checked my sugar before I had surgery I never would have known they were so high (my sugar was 21 mmol/l). I hoping dietbet will help motivate me to lose the weight. Maybe then my insulin needs will decrease and perhaps in the future disappear altogether.

Keep working at it! My A1C was 9.8 back in August, 6.7 in Nov, and just this past Friday, a 5.4! No magic. Just following what the doctor prescribed: meds, portion control, exercise, and LOTS of water! Of course I want to lose pounds, which is 1 reason why I joined Dietbet, but lowering my A1C was my #1 goal.

What plan are you following to lose weight/lower A1C?
