[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2120739, member: 400972"] Hi David and welcome to the forum! Here is a link to our useful info post: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.17088/[/URL] I’m sorry to hear of all the challenges life has thrown at you. I just want to reassure you that although exercise is good for us generally you should be able to get your HbA1c down with Metformin and diet. When I was diagnosed I was waiting for surgery on both feet, so I tackled my type 2 with Metformin, a low carb diet and self testing with no formal exercising. Have a read of the info and come back with any questions. Oh and just another little note, do some research on Statins and cholesterol to check if you really need the increased dose or indeed any, as Statins are known to raise blood sugars. [/QUOTE]
