[QUOTE="lowedb, post: 1347710, member: 365136"] So I've known for a couple of weeks that I'm T2. Still learning lots. Taking 500mg Metformin and 40mg Gliclazide. The advice from the GP surgery is mixed, having seen two GPs plus the diabetic nurse, each of which contradicted the others. Numbers are down from what they were generally staying below 10 over the last few days. Surprising how many of the things I'd been led to believe were good for me have my BS all over the place. Trips to the supermarket are taking way longer these days as I'm checking ingredients lists and finding added sugar everywhere. I'm generally using LCHF, but having been fairly 'good' with low fat over the past twenty odd years it's hard to not think I'm having too much fat. On the other hand I reckon I'm having too many calories as I'm never feeling really hungry. That's helpful in keeping to the new food regime, though! One thing I have noticed, I'm finding my hands and feet feeling the cold much more than before. Not sure if its the medication, or the reduction in BS, but with the weather as it is, its not pleasant. [/QUOTE]
