[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2214468, member: 401801"] It really does all depend on the changes you've made... The most important one for a T2 is to cut the carbs. No more spuds, bread, rice, pasta, cereal, fruit (save for berries), besides cutting out the obvious sugars. Up the fats, keep protein moderate, and usually, Bob's your uncle. If you didn't get that advice, and haven't done that, then most likely you will be offered metformin and a statin.... Statins, by the way, up blood glucose and can actually make a person a T2. There's more drawbacks than perks on those, unless you've already had a cardiac event. Read a lot, ask questions, and if you want, you can just ask for another month or so's respite, to see what you can do yourself now that you know a bit more. Also, [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] is my own little quick-start guide... Maybe it'll explain some stuff. (Good things to read next: The Diabetes Code by Dr. Jason Fung, dietdoctor.com and diabetes.co.uk , NOT .org!). Just remember this is about your health, your body... And your choice. You get a say. Good luck, Jo [/QUOTE]
