[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2138168, member: 493719"] you'll hear this a lot, it's a marathon, not a sprint and i know i was like you..it wasn't something i wanted..and i wanted it GONE..NOW Best idea is to get the diet on an even keel. trust me everyone says they eat a healthy diet..i did for 10 years and that go me a type 2 t-shirt and medal..:rolleyes: 'healthy' as others know it ...isn't healthy for us. [URL='https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/visual-guides']Diet doctor[/URL] visuals worked best for me when i was trying to get my head around good food choices for a type 2 at first i was " what CAN i eat " :arghh:.. might be worth a recap just to be sure the foods you take can't be bettered in some way, while still giving you sufficient energy to get about your day i worried at first, now i rarely go hungry..i rarely snack, 2 meals a day does me, and sometimes one of those meals is just a ryvita, butter and cheese or deli meats. if i'm honest occasionally i challenge myself to go 'one more hour' without eating, and that usually means i forget to eat so just have a small plate of meat or cheese and some olives or avocado. if i've had a good meal in the late morning (i usually skip breakfast) i have on occasions settled for a some berries and double cream, just to tide me over until next days 1st meal time. appetite is healthy but those hunger attacks have all but disappeared, i'm much more measured in my food consumption after nearly 11 months of LCHF (dx 13 months ago..first few weeks..don't ask [IMG]http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/illness/t2511.gif[/IMG]) and have plenty if not more energy then i had the years leading up to my DX as for the metformin. i was on 2 in am 2 in pm..still take as it has other potential properties, and i never found the issue some have, so not the best person to answer that one. good luck finding a route back to good numbers and better health. the road maybe long, but it IS SO worth it.
