- Type 2
I was told a week ago today that I have type 2 Diabetes. I think I am still in shock. I have an appointment on Tuesday to learn what I can and can't eat and how to check my blood glucose levels daily. I will admit that I am very scared. I'm scared to eat or drink very much as I don't have a meter yet and I don't want to end up in the hospital. This scares me to death. I lucked up on this site and I think I have a better understanding of what I need to do. I'm not terribly over weight so I only have 20 pounds to lose at best. I have been taking Metformin 500 mg with my dinner for a week. Oh well here's more about me....
