[QUOTE="Philby, post: 360998, member: 63710"] Hi all... I am a newly diagnosed diabetic, which type no one has told me right now as they are unsure :? , but I am currently being treated for T2. I am a 42 year old male living and working 25 miles south of Dublin Ireland. How I was diagnosed was that I was feeling tired and thirsty and I ignored the signs but when cramps in the lower legs stated to occur I got worried and went to the GP, they took a BG and it was 22!. What a shock to be diagnosed, only getting over it now and I moving on with my life. Currently I am on oral medication and diet (though I have a BMI of 24.4), I did love my breads, watching carbs atm. My average BG for the last 2 weeks was 6.3 (hopefully this is ok).Just having trouble controlling the BG levels towards bedtime, sometimes they are high (circa 8-11) and I have also noticed that at about 11am-12pm (especially during the week) my BG will drop below 4 (hypo?). Need to experiment with foods etc and maybe in time I will learn to control it more effictivevly Well sorry for the rambling nature of this post, but I want to thank you all for all the future valuable information and feedback you will all give me (and others) in the years to come. kind regards Declan [/QUOTE]
