Hi
I was told yesterday that I am most likely diabetic. Had two separate HbA1c readings of 6.8. Doctor said that anything over 6 isn’t that good.
Told to change from white to brown bread and that she would refer me to the dietitian.
Prescribed Metformin twice a day but advised to start with one then move up to two.
No other advice given.
Don’t have a clue where to start or what other dietary changes I need to make.
Told that I should make a note to get bloods checked again in 6 months.
I really need any and all help.
What diet changes are recommended?
Is it better to check blood each day?
Will diet changes and medications stop me going to the bathroom every 30 mins and every 2 hours at night?
Will the extreme tiredness stop?
How to stop the constant thirst?
I am so confused I really don’t know where to start.
