Hi, I've been very recently diagnosed with type 2, on Metformin 1G slow release twice a day. My daughters now living in Auckland (since July), where are you from? Ever since I told her about my diagnosis she has apparently given up all sugar and is running more than usual in case it's passed on...

Hi Jude I was pre-diabetic on 500mg metformin 3xaday. Now Diabetic type 2. Gp changed my Metformin to slow released as I was having diarrhea 2-3x aday, now managing fine, it may be worth asking to change to slow release to.

Hi Jude, I'm new to

Thanks for tips will give nuts and olive oil a try.

I know my depression contributed to my diagnosis of type 2, Mental Health took turn for the worst in June when my daughter moved to New Zealand, tablets changed to Olanzapine, became ravenously hungry and binged for 3 months put on nearly 3 stone as had no control what so ever; worst side effect...

Does anyone have any advise about binge eating and how to stop?

Thank you, I've looked into it as suggested, not sure I fully understand it but will look it up again in morning to see if it makes more sense then and do as suggested by trying to test BS around 3-4am to check it out further. Maggie

Thank you Lyn I try to set small goals of what to do every night and hope to achieve one of them the following day, if I manage more it's a bonus and a good day. I will ask about the Desmond course and checks I should have on tuesday when I see the nurse, adding it to my list of questions...

Can anyone tell me why my blood sugars seem to be lower when I go to bed and yet raised in the morning when I get up, yet I've eaten nothing all evening or over night. Logically surely they should be lower again in the morning? Been puzzling over it a few days now it dosen't make sense to me.

And I'm very keen to learn of their ideas and experiences - trying to be a 'sponge'.

Had a good look, thanks for link, still not certain as there's a lot I would't like to eat ie cottage cheese hate the texture as well as the taste but I guess thats personal taste. Will ask diabetic nurse about it Tuesday. How flexible can it be?

Hi, thank you, I will probably read it more than once truth be told. I will be grateful of all replies from questions as this is all getting rather scary now! Some how writing here is making the reality of it all sink in.

Good luck for Tuesday, If you can let me know how you get on I'll be interested to hear if the low carb diet has helped as I'm seriously considering giving it a try.

Thank you.

Ok will do. I don't know what your on if anything but do you ever want to not take your medication for diabetes?

Thank you -love the cute Kitty picture! I've had mixed views about the low carb diet, don't know what to think about it, got too much else going on to get my head around but I've certainly not ruled it out, as people on this site seem to be having amazing results. I do need to loose a lot of...

Thank you, it's good to know it's not just me. I've read most of the info every day but your right, it dosn't seem to sink in so will continue to do so until it does. I have my first appointment Tuesday with diabetic nurse so making a list of questions as I think of them. Hopefully they will be...

No good at this technology, just read what i wrote for post title, it's not right at all WOOP'S! I'm a newly diagnosed diabetic Type 2 who also has depression. Now can't work out how to change the title - Dont even know if it's even possible. So now not expecting any response from any of you oh...

Hi All, I was diagnosed Type 2 two weeks ago. GP wasn't very good at explaining things - said very little in fact. But I think that's because he expected me to know already as used to be a nurse, but a long time ago. But i must admit I didn't ask anything either as couldn't get my head around...
