Message: <blockquote data-quote="))Denise((" data-source="post: 565873" data-attributes="member: 27532">You don't say how tall you are as this will have a bearing on how overweight you are.  At only 33 are they sure you are Type 2.  You shouldn't have to starve yourself to lose weight, as others have said if you eat too little the body goes into starvation mode and you don't lose weight.I go to a small GP surgery and see the practice nurse for my annual review checks (I won't see one of them as she is nurse nightshade) and I discuss the results with my GP.  I also get a printout of my results and google the figures to make sure they are ok.I would make a double appointment with your GP.  Write down all your concerns and give this to the doctor to read (I am terrible at remembering all the things I want to say).  An appointment with an Endocrinologist (instead of the Diabetes clinic) may be useful as they look at more things than just the diabetes.I find that the supplements prescribed for my Vitamin D deficiency are not enough to keep me from feeling terrible, so take extra.  Being Vitamin D deficient affects your mood and blood sugar levels.Make an effort to eat three meals a day, I'd suggest berries for breakfast, salad for lunch and meat and veg in the evening and drink plenty of water/tea/coffee.</blockquote>
