Hi, Like you I am newly diagnosed, although I did not think I was obese, at 9st 10lb and 5ft, I have been steadily putting on weight for the past couple of years, previous to this my weight was around 7 and a half stone, I could not fathom out why I was putting on weight as I calculated my daily...

8.1 for me this morning, and I have been ooo so good, not eating any carbs or sugar. This is my first self test so hopefully will get better as starting extra exercises now.

thankyou, I will have a look for that, as it may replace my cereal that I used to love for breakfast.

Hi, the Milled linseed with cranberry and blueberry, what is this, is it in the cereal department?

Looking at your post, how are you feeling now, I was diagnosed last week, and went straight onto low carb high fat diet, on 1000g metformin, I have now been experiencing pins and needles in my hands, would like to understand if this is only going to get better.

Hi, I certainly don't have any weight on my arms or legs, in fact I used to think to myself that I am a stomach on legs, and whatever I did I could not get rid of the michelin tyre, my husband always said "you are not fat, you have had 4 children you can't expect to have a flat tummy" but by...

Hi, I am on regular metformin, it seems to affect me every other day, but only after the morning tablet, I will see how it goes over the next couple of weeks to give it time to settle in.

Hi Kim, the doctors surgery that I am registered at seem to be really good, I am in Cornwall, I have been going every other day to check my blood pressure, the result I had on Friday has started to come down a little, I had another load of bloods done on Friday to check for any other problems...

unfortunately I did not get the readings, I had my blood pressure taken on the 5th and the 12th, I am due to have this taken again on Monday so will take note of the readings.

I do somehow think that this has a link with having my gall bladder taken out, I don't think that there is a complete link, but my doctor brought this up with me, I know I could do with losing a few pounds, and maybe taking more exercise, I have always been careful about what I eat, I have never...

Thank you Patricia, so glad I have found his forum, so much information.

Hi Kim, I must say for me it has come as a bit of a relief to find out, as this would explain why I have been feeling so unwell for some time, I have been on the low carb diet for 1 day, went out and restocked the fridge at Aldi, they are so cheap for salads and veg, think I may need another...

Thank you Daisy

thankyou, by what I have seen so far on the forum, there is a lot of support and information. Brilliant to find that a site like this has been formed.

I have been put on Metformin 500g one in the morning and one at night, but I want to control as much as possible, so armed with shopping list. Got my appointment on Monday with the DN, happy days

this is interesting are type 2 diabetes patients entitled to exemption from prescription charges?

Thank you, there is a lt to take it at once, and trying to absorb as much information is difficult.

Hi, thank you for your reply, I am looking at the low carb diet, and think that I could get used to the full fat version of foods, I love butter, just started to like cheese as well, the bread and potatoes will be hard, but worth it health wise, just a lifestyle change.

Hi, I have just been reading this forum, I have today been diagnosed my fasting blood test results came in at 62, I am hopeful that I now have an answer as to why I have been feeling so unwell for some time, did not really consider diabetes at all, as although I am 57 years old, I am not...
