Hello!
I was diagnosed with T2 four weeks ago, I am now up to my full amount of 1500g of metformin a day after increasing my dose each week.
I have been browsing this forum since I was diagnosed & finally plucked up the courage tonight to say hi. The information and support everyone offers here is truly amazing
I'm still finding my way and don't really understand a lot. I feel a bit overwhelmed with information.
My Hbac1 or whatever it is called was 14.2. My fasting glucose was 12.6. I'm 45 & a wee bit overweight, I've been at Slimming World since Sept & have lost 18lbs so far. This diagnosis has made me all the more determined to succeed.
The main reason I decided to write tonight was I had a really funny turn at work today - this is about the 7th time this has happened - but today was the worst. It's very hard to describe - not lightheaded as such, just very weird & I thought I was going to pass out. I also went a very strange colour so much so my boss jumped up to catch me because she knew something was amiss.
Has anyone else felt like this? It was as if I'd lost all power and my brain felt kind of shaky inside my head!!
I'm really kind of floundering about the place now as I don't really know what I'm doing - I also don't know if slimming world is the right diet for me anymore. I don't test my blood sugars.
Basically I don't really know what's best for me! I've researched so much I think I've overloaded my wee brain! I guess the whole process is just a learning curve.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say you're all wonderful and I hope someone can shed some light on my funny turns.
Thank you.
