Just read the thread.
Shortly after migrating from the US to Australia in 2002, I was diagnosed with diabetes.
My symptoms was excessive peeing, blurry vision. A visit to the local Dr office showed 16 glucose level.
I started on Metforim, and about 5 years ago blood pressure and cholesterol as well.
When I do right - diet, meds and exercise, my numbers are 6-8. My weight is about 15 kg too high as well. Carbs are my biggest weakness!
I am learning more now than I did over the past 12 years.

I am also starting the LCHF (low carb healthy fat) diet.
I am willing to share ideas on how to manage/reduce my diabetes.
