[QUOTE="EwaP, post: 964063, member: 213880"] Hi all, My name is Ewa and I am new to this forum. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a week ago. I wasn't shocked, to be honest I kind of expected it. Not because I am massively overweight but I have been straggling with PCOS for years and extra weight around abdominal area (which is really annoying). My HbA1c is 92 - really high. I was on 1 metformin tablet (500mg) a day for a week and as from today I need to take it twice a day. I have noticed that it takes good couple of hours for metformin to work.. Yesterday evening (before dinner) my glucose level was 6.7. I ate fried turkey with a quarter of medium size avocado, fist size portion of lamb lettuce, half of tomato and two table spoons of spinach with cream. I woke up this morning and my glucose level was 10.7 and I felt extremely tired. I don't experience any side effects of metmorfin and it does't make me feel less hungry (unfortunately!). I only eat carbs with my breakfast (cereal, porridge), I eat meat with veggies for lunch and the same for dinner. Since I eliminated carbs I started to put on weight which is really worrying. Would you recommend any good dietician who could design appropriate eating plan for me? I am really good at sticking to them but not creative and patience enough to create them myself. [/QUOTE]
