Hello,
My name is Jamie, im a 42 year old, graying, overweight male..and if thats not bad enough i've just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, bearing that in mind i thought it best to drop by and check out your site.
2 weeks ago a friend used black magic and a little blood machine to scare the hell out of me, it read 24.4, today, the little blood machine my doctor gave me reads 16.8.
The doctor has prescribed metformin = 1 500mg daily for 1st week, 2 daily for 2nd week, 3 daily 3rd, 4 for 4th then he said ill be on 2 x 1000mg daily thereafter
Glipizide = 80mg once daily in the morning
Atorvastatin 20mg at 1 daily
I have cut out as much sugar as possible and swapped over to splenda, i eat bran flakes or brown bread toast for breakfast, cottage cheese on rivita for dinner and grilled chicken, new potatoes and a huge mound of green beans and peas for tea, this has been my eating habit for the last 2 weeks...
Im not really sure why I'm telling you what i eat...im a bit dizzy with the news to be honest and not physically having anyone to talk to i find myself rambling.
I dont know what this site is like for giving out tips but if anyone could find it in there heart to throw some this way id be very appreciative.
Soooo.....HELLO ...i'll see you around
Mods if i have put this in the wrong section pls can you move it for me...Danka!!
