Hi all.
I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last week. I insisted on having a glucose monitor, which she gave me very begrudgingly.
My concerns are these:
I have 6 other autoimmune diseases, including liver diseases and spondyloarthritis. The nurse didn't even want to discuss that it could be type 1, given my medical history!
Also, I'm trying to be good diet wise, and have been started on metformin, but I'm feeling awful. How long does it take before I start to feel better, if it is type 2?
Thanks
