Hi folks.
just been diagnosed 4 days ago (waiting to find out if type 1 or 2) blood sugar was 24 then next day 30 ( I have no idea what this means) GP has put me on Alogliptin and Metformin. I had raging thirst and have lost 21 pounds in weight over 3 months.
I actually feel better for losing the weight.
I haven’t felt tired or anything else apart from the thirst!!
Two days taking the meds and the thirst seems to be subsiding.
I went food shopping yesterday and went into a blind panic as I didn’t know what I could and couldn’t eat anymore.
I don’t know how to count carbs or watch sugar intake or how much I’m supposed to have each day I feel that everything I normally had is totally off limits now.
Lots of different conflicting articles online and I’m all over the place trying to take it all in.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I’m trying to reply to everyone’s great advice but I keep getting an error message I’m new to this so any help would be great
