Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it.

After reading "What's your highest number", I tested my blood. It's 6 a.m. and it's 130.

I'm on no meds. I have been in the past and I think the Metformin is what has destroyed my legs.

My highest was probably 156

If your blood sugar is consistently high for a week or so, I would definetly contact my PCP for an HBA1C test.

I think the highest my A1C has been is 6.3

There are different numbers on every site but I think normal people would be 70-120
diabetics would be 70-150 and less then 200 two hours after a meal.

What did Metformin do to your legs?
