HiHi, I'm Craig.
45 year old England
Diagnosed type 2 yesterday and very much up and down emotionally after this
Took first Metformin this morning
Reading all available info but really looking for real practical advice
Stats where 121.. 16.2 ketone 0.7.
Not really had symptoms but was whilst tall very overweight. Lost 6 stone since last April through diet and excersise but still need to lose more.
The guy confirmed the news and was decent and informative but on arrival home I was panicked,angry,denial etc. Today a little more pragmatic so far. Right at the start of a lifelong battle so very open to advice.. Thanks..
Thanks. Started a thread on newly diagnosed board and lots of good input. Certainly feeling better than this time yesterdayHi
Have you looked at the advice for newbies? Very good information on here and lots of friendliness and advice. Assuming you are type 2, a lot of us here low carb and high fat LCHF. I was lucky and told by my GP to do it lost 8 stone, brought levels down but I’ve fallen off the wagon at the moment due to stress. Some go very low carb around 30 g a day but anything under 130 will give you results. Diet doctor really good for amazing recipes. have a look around the forums it will really help.
Well done, this really is the best forums aroundThanks. Started a thread on newly diagnosed board and lots of good input. Certainly feeling better than this time yesterday
Hi all,
My Username is Bernadette56, I’m 69 years old, female, & I was diagnosed with Type2 diabetes 2 weeks ago. I am 5ft 2ins & weigh 7st 10lbs & never dreamed I would be a candidate for diabetes.
I was born in Ireland but have been living in London since 1971. I’ve been married for 47 years, have 2 children & 3 grandchildren, the youngest is only 2.
I’ve been fit & healthy all my adult life, never had any serious illnesses, until the headaches started in January & got progressively worse. My GP sent me to the Royal Free where my bs reading was 23.9 & ketones were 2.1. I was put on a drip, given an insulin shot, then on a heart monitor & finally a chest X-ray. My fingers were pricked so many times I lost count but I can’t praise the staff enough for the way they looked after me. In the 7 hours that I was there they were constantly checking me for something & it wasn’t until 3 days later when my GP told me that I’d been quite unwell, then I realised why I was getting so much attention.
So now I’m on the metformin, in liquid form as I can’t swallow tablets, & it’s the most awful stuff ever. At least my bs is down to mostly single figures & the headaches are practically gone. I’m just still trying to come to terms with this at the moment, I’ve received no info on what I’m supposed to eat or drink, I know it’s because of the virus & no face to face appointments, so I’m hoping to get some answers on here.
Hello, My name is Sipho Mbelle. I am a South African, 58 years old and have been living with Type2 diabetes for about 11 years. I recently bought myself a CGM unit, and it has massively improved how I manage my diabetes. Among other things, it has rekindled my quest for more knowledge about the disease, which is how I came across this forum. In am looking forward to learning from others, and sharing my experiences too.This thread will hopefully let us to get to know one another better and allow us to see which users we might share similarities with.
