Got my A1C down to 7.4 in 2 months!

Sorry for the self-praise, but I'm proud :)

I was diagnosed with Type2, 2 months ago, my A1C at that time was 9.6. I'm now on Metformin, 1000mg every morning and 1000mg every evening. I've also lost a total of 12 pounds. I'm not doing a lot of exercising, but I'm moving more and cleaning the house more. I've been VERY Careful about my carb intake, but haven't watched my fat and salt intake much.

Also, my blood pressure has been slightly elevated for the past year or so, and today it was back to normal ranges.

I've got a lot more work to do, and I'm trying to think about this mentally as a lifestyle change. Even if I can get off the meds and get my A1C below 6, I'll have to watch my carbs for life!

I don't post a lot, but I've been reading in this sub for a while now. Thank you all for the pointers and advice. I've learned a lot.
