I was diagnosed the Wed before Thanksgiving.  (Nov 27, 2013) Fasting sugar was 234 and A1C was 10.5.  I am 70 lbs over weight.  Went to the dr because of stomach and swallowing issues.   Following up on those but Dr suspects a candida over growth due to the high sugar levels.  
Now that I have calmed down, I am starting the long journey to optimum health.  Eating healthy, exercising daily and testing 4x a day.  Metformin is working, glucose levels are coming down.  This is the easy part, I am really motivated to improve.  Hoping I can sustain the motivation.  
Since writing helps me process, I am planning to blog about my journey.

I think being motivated is the most important part - just start working to improve and don't stop.
I found out last year in November, and ironically it turned out to be a good thing really, as I'm now in the best shape physically that I've ever been.  It's a long, slow process, but don't give up, just keep going!
