No real information from Dr but guessing it’s T2.  My numbers weren’t even prediabetic last year and I’ve been on metformin for years due to the pcos, taking 850mg 3 times a day. I have high blood pressure (medicine controlled) high cholesterol (recently restarted statins) and all the Dr said was lose weight if you can and we’ll do a blood test in 6 months.  I have tried every ‘healthy eating’ scheme and diet plan going with no success.  I’ve been reading on here that no carb high fat is better for diabetes but worried that will be detrimental to my blood pressure/cholesterol.  I am hoping to get me head round being ‘diabetic’ quickly but I feel almost dismissed by my GP and no clue what I’m doing.  One thing she did say is no need to monitor my blood sugars at home so that’s one less worry I suppose.  I’m not really sure if I’m asking questions or just off loading.  My head is wrecked</p></blockquote><p></p>
