Hi all,
Am glad I have found this site. I have been struggling to deal with the diagnosis of type 2, and the discipline needed! I'm 36 and got gestational diabetes torwards the end of my pregnancy 3 years ago. It was controlled successfully by diet. My BMI then was 41 and is 35 now, I am 2.5 stones lighter now. Had regular checks and 18 months ago was diagnosed type 2.I was shocked and if I'm honest, i kind of ignored it and went on a bit of a binge thinking I'd better eat all the sweet stuff now because I wouldn't be able to again! It's ridiculous I know! So, now I've calmed down and am trying to get a grip on it and my HbA1c is now 9.0 which is why I am now this week starting on metformin. I feel such a failure as my greed and weight has caused this, I'm feeling very low but so far am successfully keeping to my own low sugar/low calorie/low fat diet. Looking forward to learning more here and getting this under control.
