[quote=Anonymous]Just diagnosed this past week. A1C at 12%. I am shocked at the number. I am 5 ft tall and 122 pounds. I could lose 10 pounds, but otherwise healthy. I go to Orange Theory Fitness 6 times a week. I am sure genetics has to do with this: mom, dad, brother all diabetic. I know I can cut out bread, white rice, pasta, sugar in creamer, and sweetened yogurt. But what meds worked best? Dr. started me on Metformin ER 1000 mg per day and said to increase to 2000 mg per day in a week if I have no gastro issues. I want to get this under control. I have had no symptoms of diabetes thus far. Any advice? I know metformin is the first thing to try but not sure if that will work without anything else with my A1C so high. I am in my late 50s.
