Hi all
Just want to say i found this site completely by accident on Friday night, surfing the net feeling very ill and depressed about my condition. And i have been addicted to it ever since and now feel able to post....
I was diagnose T2 sept 06 didnt manage it particularly well, I spose i was in denial. Have been on
2 x Metformin 500g for 12 months now, but recently felt really ill ,,, tired, dizzy, just strange feeling really cant describe it, so tested and levels were 10 not particularly high compared to some i have read on here but high for me. I had my half yeary blood tests Fri morn and i know when i go to the DN for my results next Friday they are going to be rubbish.. She is almost certainly going to change my meds but i am hoping to persuade her to let me try the low carb 1st and c how i get on
Since reading all your posts about low carb i started it yesterday, (now a macca nut addict lol didnt take long did it) and i have to say I do feel better, no sweating, no pounding, no feeling strangly ill, and no hunger.
I have been told not to test as it is not necessary so i dont know what my average levels are but i will b pushing for some strips on Friday and will get into the habit of testing.
Anyway i just want to say its very early days for me but thank you this site has been a mine of info just wish i had found it 12 mths ago
Thank you xxx
Mary
