I was diagnosed at 46 and my highest reading ever was 145.

I went for a routine physical on 12/8/10 and was called by my Doctor's office on 1/12/11 (yes!!, over a month later!!!) with the results. Fasting level was at 145 and A1C at 8.6. I was shocked and of course very upset for days. I NEVER had any symptoms. I have talked to friends and coworkers with Type 2 and they kept telling me that my levels were not bad at all!! That made me feel better, but I don't take this lightly at all. I have completely changed my eating habits (my eating habits were in the good to moderate range before) and I have kicked up my exercise routine. My goal is to lose the 10-15 lbs I have been wanting to lose for awhile :) My Fasting levels are now down to 115 and my after 2 hour levels never go above 128.
