Hello out there,
Boy do i need help. I`m newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and i don`t know what to do. I`m sooo hungry. I don`t know what i can snack on inbetween meals or infact what to have for meals. I`m getting scared now because it doesn`t matter what i do i can`t reduce my sugar levels. My average is 14.8 and has been for months apparently but i can`t get it lower by much. If it carries on i`ll surely end up with damage done to something or other internally. I feel sick most of the time and have a lump in my throat that won`t go away. My head gets so hazy and my body aches so much i`m spending alot of time in bed. At first my doctor put me on Metformin but that had no effect on lowering my levels AND it made me feel lousy. Last week she put me on Glucophage (which i understand is a slow release metformin) and i`m sure that`s making me moody and weepy. I`m an emotional mess. Anyway she has given me Fluoxetine and i`m praying that works for me when it kicks in.
I long for something nice to eat that won`t send my levels up to a ridiculous height n make me feel even worse. Please help if you can. I dunno how much longer i can go without eatting something that will help me. I`m not keen on fruit or raw veg. I have been eatting a lot of pasta and rice but a friend told me that is not good and more than likely why i`m feeling so rough. I`m eatting porridge but finding it bland and need something to give it some taste. Is tha anything (apart from fruit) that you can recommend?
