When I was given my diagnosis the doctor handed me a script, and when I said, you’ll be telling me I’ll be taking this for the rest of my life...and he said YES, and the dose will need to be increased over time...
I walked out of the clinic, threw the script in the rubbish, and started to Google.
Within three months, I had lost a stone in weight, my daily readings (two hours after food) were down to normal, I changed doctors.
I still check my blood levels regularly, particularly after I (rarely)treat myself to chocolate cake or ice cream.
Our levels in Oz are calculated differently, mine are sometimes 4.5 and the highest has been 6.8.
I don’t know how to convert to your system.
It’s simple. Sugar is poison, as is white refined flour, and processed foods. I eat very very little wholemeal bread, lots of salad and vegetables and beef and chicken and fish - potatoes aren’t evil if you buy the Low GI variety.
“Our levels in Oz are calculated differently, mine are sometimes 4.5 and the highest has been 6.8.

4.5 mmol/L = 81.0 mg/dL
6.8 mmol/L = 122.4 mg/dL
mmol/L = millimolar per Liter/Litre
mg/dL = milligrams per deciliter = milligrams per 100 milliliters
