[QUOTE="cyclist, post: 711869, member: 148654"] From the research I have done so far this seems to be a good place to belong, and learn to control my newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes I was diagnosed following a fasting blood test with a level of 16 and am yet to visit the nurse for further information and testing - that will take place on 2 Jan. In the meantime I have been given Metformin SR and advised to take 1 per day first week then 1 morning / 1 night until I see the doctor again mid-Jan I have already made quite a number of changes to my diet as I had quite a sweet tooth and also a fairly carb-laden one too (so it appears on reflection) Although the information about what I should try to eat/avoid has not yet been provided - I'm sure this information is due to be given by the nurse For the past 18 months I have been cycling a lot and I will be using this as a primary form of exercise to help control my Diabetes. I foresee walking a lot more will be incorporated too, as my day-job makes for a fairly sedentary existence in the office. I have a head full of questions and will be spending a lot of time reading up on and analysing the data provided here. I am well aware of the dangers of reading too much on a forum as I run one myself (Coffee Forums UK) I hope to learn a lot and will share my experiences with others, to help other newly diagnosed Diabetics in the future to have a leg up on their road to controlling their condition.
