[QUOTE="mrsportion, post: 357485, member: 62171"] Thank you, everyone for the advice. So how many carbs a day should I aim for? I have a Patrick Holford GL book. Do you think this will help? Only being diagnosed Monday, I haven't seen dietician yet but I normally would have porridge for breakfast with soya milk and I use a spoonful of xylitol. Do you know if that is allowed? I have my fitness app so thanks for the reminder, I will use that. This is my third day on metformin and I feel a little bit down and absolutely frozen. This is so out of character for me as I am constantly boiling hot but my feet are so cold, I cannot get warm. Still going to the loo 5 times a night and only limiting myself to sips of water, even though my throat is stuck together, so I don't end up going 10 times a night.....therefore constantly tired with full nights sleep. Also felt a bit light headed today. I am keen to record my blood sugar and just asked my Dr. for a meter and he said only type 1 require a meter and he will check my bloods when I go there. He said if I buy my own he will not supply the strips. Is this correct? Should I buy one and keep a check on myself as I do want to make a conscious effort to get this right. Sorry to keep waffling on but I am craving info at the moment. xxxxx Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
