[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 26560, member: 8110"] If you try low carb, you should see a weight loss and an improvement in Hb A1c. If that sounds intimidating, you could try the GI diet. It would improve your numbers and probably help with the weight. Whatever you do don't expect the standard dietary advice and medication to do anything other than make you gain weight. Metformin alone doesn't cause weight gain. It and Byetta are the only meds I know of that don't. I wouldn't think you were a candidate for Byetta anyway, It costs a lot and they're mean with it. THe NICE protocol recommends a 3 month trial of lifestyle change before going to medication. Your nurse has guessed T2 and the odds are she's right It's the most common It isn't called MODA. If treatment for T2 works and continues to work long term, she'll be proved right. BY the way don't forget exercise in the equation. Vest of luck Hana [/QUOTE]
