Have these been hypos? Or could it be the Metformin?

[QUOTE="Exornitence, post: 908512, member: 189618"] Hello Ailidh, I am also a T2 newbie too diagnosed last month and have to take Metformin 3 times a day. Initially felt spaced out and had problems concentrating. It got better after 4 weeks. Its a struggle to know where to get information and what to do with your diabetes. I love this forum as it allow you to surf for shared experiences. You need a GP consultation about your mood. Could be Metformin isn't the drug for you or you feel like you have low blood sugar when it isn't and eat too early. Either way you need a review. Are you eating enough and following a low carbohydrate high fat diet? I use a phone App called 'My FitnessPal' that is free and helps monitor your intake, and nutrition (you could join their website if you don't have a mobile phone). Buy a blood glucose monitor as that's the only way you can tell how your diet affects your blood glucose - before and after meals. Its not expensive and you probably won't use it much once you get into the swing of a balanced diet. Take it easy with the weight loss - well done by the way - as too much too soon isn't sustainable and the body needs to learn to catch up. Do it gradually and try not to miss meals/snacks. [/QUOTE]
