[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1486293, member: 400972"] So sorry to hear about your miscarriage x I was diagnosed Type 2 a month ago too! I was started on Metformin 500mgs straight away, one week of one tablet, one week of two, then onto three a day. Initially I ate no more than 100g of carbs a day, usually 90 something, and my numbers came down nicely. However in the last week I seemed to have plateaued. I get 6s mostly, with a handful of 5s and rarely a 7. For the last few days I have been trying to keep to between 70 - 90g carbs per day in an attempt to get my numbers down still further. I definitely tolerate carbs better later in the day, so eat a no carb breakfast and v. low carb lunch, then I can eat relatively normally, with a slight alterations, at dinner time with my family. I have lost over a stone and a half in weight with very little effort too! I would never be where I am now if I hadn't stumbled on this site, desperately looking for help after my diagnosis was confirmed. [/QUOTE]
