I am newly diagnosed 2 weeks ago as type 2. Posted yesterday and got some good advice from members. Very grateful for the advice and have taken it all onboard. Lovely people on here !!!.
Can I just ask 2 questions.
Since I have been diagnosed I have lost about 10lbs in weight and its still dropping. People keep saying its a common thing for someone with type 2 diabetes to lose weight . I am a little concerned about the ammount of weight I am losing, and I realise I have changed my diet and food intake. But can anybody advice me why we lose weight rapidly ???
The other question was. Yesterday I got my BG level down to 7 which is the lowest its ever been and I felt better, I ate my evening meal Beef few potatoes and veg, was 12 when I went to bed, but still 10.3 this morning and today I don't feel that well. Morning always seems to be high. Am on Metformin which I take with meals. Can anyone advise me why the levels are so high, when im trying to stick to a low carb diet, and havent had any sugar i.e in tea chocolate biscuits cakes etc since i was diagnosed. Sue x
