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.

Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Bayer's A1CNow SELFCHECK provides you a simple way to know how well you are doing, so you can better manage your diabetes.
When it comes to managing your diabetes, knowledge is power. Knowing your A1C number (2-3 month indication of average blood glucose) is critical. Why? Because even small changes in your A1C can mean big changes in your risk for serious complications. In fact, just a one-point reduction in your A1C system can reduce your risk of serious complications by 40%.
A1CNow SELFCHECK is a simple way to check on your A1C level at home, between doctor visits, along with regular doctor visits and routine blood glucose monitoring. A1CNow SELFCHECK lets you know where you stand, so you can get to where you need to be. Bayer's A1CNow SELFCHECK, when used in conjunction with Bayer's CONTOUR or BREEZE2 families blood glucose meters, may help patients achieve tighter control of their diabetes, which may reduce the risk of long-term complications.
Only Bayer can provide you with both daily and long term at-home tools to help you manage your diabetes.

What does your research suggest doctors use for a diagnosis
I have 2x A1c over 7
But was later sent for the OGTT its a pain as you need to spend about 5 hrs in the hospital but it is supposed to be dominative
If the HbA1c is not too good why are most docs in most country's sending their patients for one every 3- 6 months
I get free strips but only test 1-2 times a day and at random times
and I can;t really say this helps much
just as long as the results are not outrageous Exercise seems to be the best thing for me
and feel for people with this disease who are mobile
would be grateful for any links to up to date research
most of the stuff I see are about the problems of medicines in the pipeline and their possible side effects
