Hi everyone,
I have recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and am currently taking Metformin 500mg 2 tablets a day. However I am overweight and want to get this under control ASAP. Any tips?
 
Hello, and welcome @Stamina24

Lots of our members with T2 change diet to a low carb method. Also, use a blood glucose meter to gauge how certain foods are affecting these.

There is some information for new members in my signature beneath this post. Have a read and come back with any questions.
 
Hi and welcome Stamina24, you have landed on a great site. Lots of info here. There are many members here who have been in your position, brought their blood sugars down and lost weight through diet. Check out some of the sub forums.
 
Welcome to the forum. I found this video to be very useful in understanding which foods raise blood sugars and which don’t.


If you start on a Low Carb High Fat - LCHF diet you should loose a lot of weight. I found it relatively easy to loose a lot of weight on this diet as well as drastically reducing my high blood sugars.
