Hello To All

[Plockton]

Just to say hello to everyone here. I'mType 2 - diagnosed several years ago - and have been lurking around this site for several years. Have progressed over those years and am now on Lantus 22 units daily and Metformin - plus the usual statin/bp med and aspirin. I have asked a couple of questions over the years and always found answers here - for which I'm really grateful. My aim now is to take a bit more control - and am keen to try and reduce my carbs to see if that will keep my levels down and enable me to lose a bit of weight etc. And - a belated new year resolution - to try and take a more active part on this forum!

Just to say "hello". Have looked at the site before but only joined yesterday.T2 for three years,now on Glicazide and Januvia after problems taking Metformin ( chronic diarrhoea )and then Glucophage......same problem with Glucophage just at a different time of day. Taking statins and Irbesartan as well as Omega three.
Only problem with Glicazide is the weight creeping up slowly but noticeably. My aim is to keep BG between 6-10 as advised by GP and hopefully lose some weight by reducing carbs but not to drop the BG too low.
