hi to anyone reading this.
Just been diagnosed with diabetes and put on metformin twice a day. I wasnt surprised - have a family history and had gestational diabetes twice. Despite this I haven't a clue what I should or shouldnt be eating and my head feels messed up. Was just told to eat a healthy balanced diet and take plenty of exercise and that no food is banned. Would welcome any advice. My blood checks are anywhere between 6 & 13 and I dont know what they should be at what times of the day
Also how does a blood test decide whether you are type 1 or 2. I wasnt diabetic less than 6 months ago - now I am. Can anyone tell me how a GP knows what type you are?
Thanks, Anne.
