One month shy of official diagnosis and I'm feeling pretty fortunate after reading so many posts here.

I was diagnosed in the middle of September. My BG was 307 and A1C was 12.9. Doc put me on insulin (Lantus) straight away. Been averaging in the 100 - 130 range for the last few days. Down to 94 on Sunday morning. Last A1C was 9.

Anyone have a similar experience or am I just really "lucky"?
