Hi my name is Tina. I am 51 years old and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

I take Metformin to control this. I am a very active person and am not at all overweight so it was a bit of a shock. It is really great to have a website like this and be in touch with fellow type 2's. It is all a bit strange and a little confusing so it is helpful having all this information at your fingertips.
