Hello, I just wanted to chip in and say that when I was first diagnosed I asked my nurse if it was possible to control my diabetes with diet and excercises. "Oh no," was the reply, "you're too far gone for that! We'll start you one one Metformin and increase to 3 a day within 6 weeks."
The Metformin didn't suit me, but I found this forum and started Gliclazide.
Please to read my signature below, and take heart
Baby steps will get you there just as sure as great leaps for mankind, it's early days, and you may have to do a lot of tinkering with diet and meds until you feel well AND control those blood sugars.
