[QUOTE="pr126, post: 402045, member: 75473"] Hello everybody, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last week, and it seems that my condition became suddenly quite severe, I must eat something every 2 hours even if it is just an apple or a banana, glass of Lucozade. I will see my GP tomorrow morning to prescribe [i]first time[/i] some drugs / medication to make my condition bearable. (I hope). The nights are worst, as I wake up frequently with heavy breathing sweating and being unwell. Still, I put my hopes on the medication I will receive tomorrow. I am a 70 year old male, not (in my opinion) overweight, 75 Kg and still losing weight, I have started the prescribed diet the nurse recommended and sticking to it. What surprised me most was not the diagnosis of the diabetes, but how suddenly I have gone downhill, meaning that I had no overly noticeable symptoms until quite recently. I also have a heart problem, -recently diagnosed- which could be related to the diabetes going undiagnosed for some time. I don't know what medications I will get, but hope to get better as this unwell condition is making me desperate. Edit: Taken my first Metformin tablet this morning after leaving the surgery, so far so good. Marked improvement already. :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
