Default Diabetes

well i have been diagnosed with Type 2, kinda crazy scary all at the same time.

my first A1C is 6.4 which is a little above what it should be.

i'm on pills for the diabetes and exercising and dieting. i have cut out sodas and starches (whites) i have lost a couple pounds so far.
got a meter today, have to wait and find out how much the strips and lancets are for it though, because if they're too much i'm going to look into getting a different meter with cheaper stuff!

i'm also taking kidney disease meds (as preventative now) and my dr. wants me to keep my eye exams up to date because of the whole getting glaucoma and cataracts

well, thats about it! =]

*Happy Sticking* lol thats what the nurse told me today as i left with my meter
