   Type 2 Diabetes (Diabetes board)

4th July 2007
Hi, I hope someone can explain something to me. I am type 2 diabetic. I am over weight and I have bad cholostrol. Lately when I have tested my sugar they have been fairly good. There is an occational over 200 reading. But lately it has bee like 120,117 etc. When I fast. I just had an A1C done and my number came back 5.9 I must admit since I thought my readings have been good. I have half heartedly taken my glucophage med. My doctor is unaware of this. Plus I have not watched my diet and I have eaten tons of sugar. I seem to be craving it really bad. Yet my A1C came back this good. Does this mean I no longer have diabetes type 2 ? What is a normal undiabetic person's numbers? I was told I was a diabetic when my A1C was 6.1 I was considered a prediabetic at 6.0 but when I passed 6.0 my doctor put me on med's. Yes sometimes I hit over 200 but lately I have done well on my testing strips and I have been bad on my diet. I am suppose to take glucophage twice a day. I also use to be on actos but I was allergic to it. I am only now on the one med. I feel I can take myself off of this med. But first I am trying to figure out what a nondiabetic A1C is..thanks..mbelishqn
