[QUOTE="Newtothisstuff, post: 2330830, member: 533272"] Hi this sounds just like me. Got a T2 diagnosis on Thursday and haven’t stopped reading since then. Feel overwhelmed and scared that I’m still eating things I shouldn’t. I’ve ditched all bad things from cupboards ordered a Hairy Bikers T2 cookbook. I don’t even know what levels mean but Dr told me I was 94, she said very high and has put me on metformin. I’ve had symptoms but brushed these off as “nothing” but lost eye sight in one eye suddenly a few weeks ago (posterior vitreous detatchment - bleed behind eye) sight slowly returning and T2 was picked up during tests. I’m seeing diabetic nurse on Monday so hopefully she will help me with all the things I’m unsure about. I’ve been reading about the Newcastle diet wiht the shakes etc, appears they don’t do it on NHS in my area, but guess you can pay privately and get it. Anyone done this and where do you go to get on it? Thanks this forum has been so helpful already [/QUOTE]
