Hi, newly diagnosed after self presenting at the doctors with a history of 14lb weight loss, raging thirst, double vision, night sweats and feeling really terrible. Dr did blood tests and came back with aType 2 diagnosis.
I'm taking Metaformin, 1 x 500mg after each meal. My testing shows a blood reading of 5.5 average in the morning, rising to average 11.5 2-3 hours after eating. I've cut out all sugar and about half of the carbs i used to eat.
I suffer from a lot of auto immune illnesses.
My questions are,
1. how do they know if you are type 1 or type 2?
2. I'm feeling very nauseous and get very bad diahorrea after every meal.
I'm so confused by all of this, help??
