Dr Dansinger
I fit your description. Last August my Doctor discovered I had type 2 diabetes. I am 72 years old, 6 feet tall and weighed 175 pounds 6 months earlier. I am very active and have been the same size most of my life. I am 72 years old. My initial reading was 570. My first A!c reading was 6.7 in mid December. After getting off insulation, I take 1000 mg metformin twice a day. My numbers average 105 resting and around 120 at night. My weight now is 158 still dropping. And I am trying to gain weight. I shun sugar and most carbohydrates. My doctor found my thyroid to be normal. My two older sisters developed diabetes after age 65 and they were moderately overweight.
Looking for answers too.
