[QUOTE="KezG, post: 1406517, member: 355453"] Hello and welcome.. Your story is very similar to mine, sudden eyesight issues, 2 stone weight loss in about 6 weeks and drinking so much water. I was not overweight to begin with and nurses were convinced that I'd be type 1 rather than type 2 due to my build and age. as my blood glucose levels were so high I was treated with insulin for the first few months. Eventually my blood results came back showing that I was type 2, so my meds were slowly changed to Metformin. I reduced the amount of carbohydrate foods that I ate, cutting sugary foods and drinks are out and I eat oily fish and chicken instead of pies and chippy meals. As a result my Blood glucose is lowering nicely and my cholesterol levels are at a safer level which keeps me away from statins. There is a lot to take in at first.. but it does get easier once you understand what's happening.. read as much as you can on this site and ask questions... there are plenty of people here who can help where possible. I'll tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] for you... She can give you some info you may find helpful to start with. [/QUOTE]
