[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2216054, member: 401801"] You've come to the right place. I know, getting diagnosed, even if you know the odds are against you, is still quite the kick in the head... But you'll start feeling better soon, that much I can promise you! I would recommend asking the GP for a few month's grace, when it comes to metformin... You should be able to get your blood sugars back under control just with a diet change. Not everyone gets side effects mind you, but if medication can be avoided altogether, I think you'll feel better quicker... (Gastro-intestinal issues are NOT fun when you're already feeling ill).

Would've saved me months of being really depressed, feeling powerless and crying a lot. I can also wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Jason Fung's The Diabetes Code, (or his free youtube video's), dietdoctor.com and this place's website, diabetes.co.uk. You'll find quite a lot of invaluable information in those places. Any questions, throw them out there. You don't have to do this alone. I'm glad you're not working shifts anymore, that's really going to help you gain control faster and better too. You'll be okay. And feeling better in no time at all! (I'll eat a pound of sugar if I'm wrong!) Hugs, Jo [/QUOTE]
