[QUOTE="paulsx, post: 1424849, member: 389413"] Hi all, was diagnosed last week as being type 2, Had the blood test that came back as 10.2, clorestoral was 5.1, I am 6', 47 years old and a bit overweight at 17s. My meeting with the doctor didn't go too well and he wanted to start me on meds which I wasn't keen on and refused. I know I need to change my diet and exercise more etc but need some practical advice about trying to control it without meds. I am due to see the practice diabetic nurse but its a 3 week wait so in the mean time I have tried to cut as much carbs from my diet as possible to try and help. I know the diet advice is confusing but is it possible to manage my diabetes through diet or should I have taken the meds? The prospect of being on meds for life doesn't really appeal to me but also the prospect of only eating what is really good for you doesn't either lol Many thanks [/QUOTE]
