[QUOTE="pugster75, post: 1305402, member: 338012"] Hi, I'm s total newbie, both to forums and to diabetes. I've just had a bit of a whirlwind 3 weeks. Unluckily 3 wks ago I managed to get a drawing pin in the sole of my shoe. Unbeknown to me until it was too late! I then had a very bad infected foot which doubled in size very quickly, I was put on antibiotics by my GP but they didn't work,I was sent to hospital for iv's and admitted, before I knew it I was facing surgery for a diabetic foot ulcer, this was the first I knew about being diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic, doctors said they suspect I have been for 2-3 yrs as sugar levels were so high and out of control. Everything is coming in line and I'm getting good numbers when I'm testing between 5-8. Just wondered if anyone has any advice or tips. I seem to be struggling with breakfast ideas and seem to be getting into a pattern of eating the same things, its getting a bit boring. I'm on metformin 1g breakfast and tea, glycoside 40 mg daily and stigapltyn daily. Thanks [/QUOTE]
