[QUOTE="bkr, post: 670334, member: 136346"] I thought id say hello as Ive been reading the forum with interest & there are some great/helpful/caring people on here. I was diagnosed just over a month ago & still finding my feet, its trial & error on occasion although my diet is good (always has been although the treats have been quashed for the time being until I can work myself out a bit more) with lots of greens, veg, the right types of fruit/berries etc.. no more muesli, oats instead. The elimination of sugar has been strange, but the mental clarity now due to sleeping undisturbed all night is fantastic. Its made me wonder how much the sugar has been blurring me, even through the day - its like living in another world, there's those that can buy & eat everything in the supermarket, and there's me(us/who now studies everything before I buy it!) My blood sugar was quite high on diagnosis, accidental really during a bloke check up at the doc's - its come down lots since the metformin use, and stricter diet. Ive never been overweight, but this doesnt always matter Im told - it can just happen through my genetics. A bit frustrating but no point stewing on it, best to tackle head on I think. Onwards & forwards, best regards :) [/QUOTE]
