Just Diagnosed with Type 2 in the latter half of August...
went in for my annual checkup, they did a finger stick test for A1C...... it was a...tad high....
he comes back in the room, "Congratulations, you're Diabetic... your A1C is 12..."
prescribed me Farxiga, and scheduled a 3 month Follow up.
I'll be interested to see what my number is by then. almost as soon as the insurance approved the Farxiga, and I was able to take it, my readings went from around 250, to the very low one hundreds on average.
also, luckily for me, my insurance covers a program called Livongo, that provides a connected smart Meter, and unlimited test strips and lancets at no additional cost..
only problem i've had with the program, is the network their meter uses... it's got a T-Mobile Sim, and no wifi/bluetooth backup. T-Mobile service is ...spotty at best in my area...
