BG finally dropping...

Diagnosed yesterday...
I was diagnosed with diabetes yesterday: 329 BG/10 AC1 at the Urgent Care facility where I live. I haven't spoken with anyone about it yet. I don't have a real Dr., just a PA/referral person...I see her 29May. After the initial shock wore off, I got busy researching. I'm reaching out to others that have already been on…
