[QUOTE="Clacksman, post: 1924199, member: 495405"] Most of the advice available to Type 2 diabetics is targeted at weight loss. So what can you do if you are not overweight? I was diagnosed in 2004. I was 5ft 9in and 11 stone in weight. I weigh less now, about 10st 8. My BMI has always been between 20 - 23 since then. I can't afford to lose a significant amount in weight. I have always eaten a good diet, high in vegetables, and I keep two dogs so am quite active for my age (77). I am on 60mg Glyclazide MR + 100mg Sitagliptin in the morning, and at dinner I take 4 x 500mg Metformin MR. My HbA1c was 68 at my last clinic in June, down from 79 last February and my clinic nurse thinks this is now good enough and is not proposing any change to my medication. What should I do? More exercise, more veg and less carbs? [/QUOTE]
