I was diagnosed with diabetes today. And yes I already knew it.
Today I learned it was 7 whatever that meant I don't really know.
I'm ready to do some research soon.
Now my reading two weeks ago was 118 and it was considered normal.
By the way they upped my metformin to two at night today.

Hi, the number 7 is probably your a1c reading. That is a three month summary of your glucose reading. Normal is about 4 to 5.
Mine is now 6.2, down from over 9 (4 years ago).
118 (well it depends on who you speak to). Some might consider anything over 105 as to be a high reading.
To me, 118 is just fine.
It also depends on when you took this reading. Was it on a fast, 1 hour after lunch, etc.
But 118 is nothing to go nuts over.
Keep a good diet, and take your meds.
