Hi all
I have posted a few times but thought I would say hi and tell you about me. (if anyone's interested)
I am 36, married with a little boy nearly 4 and a new baby due in October. I am a stay at home dad and also self employed. I was diagnosed with type 2 last week 2 days ago, fasting BG 16 and been taking Metformin for 2 days, my current BG is 8.6. I am following a low carb, no sugar diet which is not difficult as I did slimming world for a while previously. Just have to modify it slightly. I am not in shock or angry or anything at the moment as both my mum and dad had type 2 diabetes (sadly not around anymore) and my brother has it currently, so it runs in the family. I just want to get it under control.
Anyways, that's it for the moment.
Cheers
Scot
