[QUOTE="Wendi22, post: 1882206, member: 490735"] Last week I was diagnosed with diabetes following a high BG and given Metformin immediately. I won't see the diabetic nurse for another 3 weeks and was not given any information by the GP, except a warning that the meds have side affects. All the advice I read is about losing weight and healthy diet, but it was unwanted weight loss that took me to the doctor in the first place, its a symptom not a solution for me. I was not overweight and ate a very balanced diet. The doctor was right, the meds do have side affects, so now as well was feeling super exhausted and still losing weight, I also feel sick and have stomach pains. I have every confidence that the nurse will reassure me and give me guidance, but this waiting and ignorance is awfully stressful to-boot. [/QUOTE]
