[QUOTE="Vidar, post: 2066190, member: 507999"] Hi Guys, I was diagnosed type 2 last Thursday and prescribed 500mg Metformin three times a day. I had a score of 56. I'm not surprised I've become diabetic, I've had a rough 12 months. I was savagely attacked at work on fathers day last year, my leg broken in 12 places and now held together with 18 pins and 2 plates. Surgery had complications and I was in hospital for over 4 months, rehab for a further month. I've gained a lot of weight over the last last year and am still pretty immobile due to the leg, its just not healed right. I know I've only recently become diabetic as I was tested 6 months ago and was normal. I was only tested again as I have changed gp's. I'm pretty lucky in that I have a future step father in law who is type 2 diabetic and has recently started the Newcastle diet. He's given me a lot of support already. While I can't afford meal replacement shakes etc, I've thrown myself into a lchf diet and already in the past week I've lost 10lbs. I feel like absolute rubbish though. I'm constantly tired with headaches and yeah generally just feel ill. I'm hoping this passes though as I've read up on the keto flu. Question is how do you cope with this diet when you don't like eating veg? [/QUOTE]
