[QUOTE="julie56, post: 1936203, member: 88494"] Hi and welcome - you have come to a good place to learn about your diabetes and what you can do to improve your blood sugar readings. It comes as a bit of a shock at first, but the important thing to realise is there is a lot to learn and Rome wasn't built in a day. Diet and exercise are the two key things to concentrate on, but no need to rush in and overdo things. Watch carbs in particular - cut back on rice, pasta, potatoes, bread and cereals. Check what your body can handle by testing with your first mouthful and then again two hours later - blood sugars should return within 2 points in that time. Don't be overwhelmed with all the information you receive - it's a marathon and not a sprint. Metformin can affect the digestion a bit to start with, but if it continues over weeks get back to your doctor and ask for a slow - release type which can be better tolerated. Hope you soon settle in here - you are not alone! [/QUOTE]
