Thank you

That's interesting, thank you & of course you are right. There just seems to be such conflicting information I am due to see the Diabetes Nurse on Monday which will be my second visit. I'll have a good chat with her & see what she advises. If I go down that route I'll buy a blood tester so...

Again I've read an article where it tells me I'm going to live at least 10 years less, going to go blind, have parts amputated. Another article (plus TV) tells me that type 2 is curable & so it goes on. As a newbie I haven't a clue what is right but I do know that I started eating Paleolithic...

Ha ha, thank you for the friendly ears

That's lovely to hear. I haven't had my first appointment with the Nurse yet so I don't know if I'll have to have a meter or not. At the moment all I'm having is Metformin & even that was an issue because the Dr said I was to take 1 a day but the Nurse told me to take 2 when she phoned me to...

I have recently been diagnosed type 2 & am probably being very naive but I'm determined that it's not going to rule my life. I fully understand that I'll have to make changes but I am concerned about some of the information I'm reading in the book/magazine my Doctor gave me entitled "Your guide...

Thank you. Just been reading several reports about using coconut oil & some have been able to come off medication totally since using it. They made very interesting reading

Sorry, cross purposes. I don't use Belladonna I was just saying that you can. Originally I posted about blurred vision, that was before I was diagnosed Type 2. Vision is improving since eating Paleo

No, not taking any supplements. Bella Donna is ok in the right hands & has a use

Sorry for being a pain but I'm very new to this. I've just read that berries are good for the Paleolithic diet & also excellent for type 2 diabetes. If anyone knows different please let me know

Paleo kicking in, and 2nd day on tablets. Wee seems quite dark, is this normal?

Black Coffee first thing made with a tablespoon of Aloe Vera juice & coconut oil. Mid morning an apple. Lunch is a salad with some kind of meat, usually chicken covered in spices. Dinner is meat & lots of Broccoli & Cauliflower and that's me done until supper when I have a nettle tea. I do...

I did Paleo about 3 years ago and lost 3 stone so I'm quite genned up on it & there are lots of Paleo sites & they all have different ideas I do love Paleo & my cholesterol level is good so I must be doing something right. With this diagnosis I have to turn up the heat a bit but I have no...

Thank you everyone for all the generous advice.

It goes without saying that this forum is going to be so useful and I'll certainly follow advice and I will put on what I'm told so that you know what's going on with me. I am truly grateful for all advice. I did ask the Doctor if I needed to test and he said no and I think the reason for that...

Thank you all. My problems have started already Dr gave me a prescription for Metformin & told me to take 1 a day. Diabetic Nurse rang me to make an appointment and she has told me after first week to take 2 a day. I'm booked in to see her on 7th April so my 28 tablets won't last. Doctor is...

I posted on here about blurred vision which has improved but not normal yet. I was diagnosed type 2 only yesterday. The Doctor was quite unworried & has given me medication to take once a day. Diabetic Nurse has just made an appointment to see her & she says twice a day. I have started to...

Please forgive me for jumping in here but I'm experiencing issues now & to be honest I was scared witless but now only scared. Things have been dropping into place but you never know. I too had an insatiable thirst which kept on for about 2-weeks plus a dry mouth. That all passed by without...

Thank you so much.
