Hi Everyone and a big thank you for all the help, i've received from you guys so far.
I have been confirmed as T2. I have been put on 4 metformin a day but am only taking 2 due to adopting a high fat low carb diet. My docs have been pretty useless and the nurse seemed disinterested on her follow up phone call.
I have started on the X-pert course which couldn't have been better timed. I am 4 weeks in since my diagnosis and have already attended 2 sessions. I have read some negative stuff regarding the X-pert course but I honestly recommend that if anyone gets offered the chance to join it they take it. They advocate the high fat low carb diet as a way of controlling diabetes and it was them that recommended because I am changing my diet I only take half the dose of metformin. They are brilliant at answering questions and really go into why you are T2 and what you can do to sort it out. They get to to make one small weekly change and for me so far it has been easy changes to make and I am seeing a real difference when I test with the meter.
I am definitely feeling more positive about things going forwards and feel like im making good progress, i'm sure there will be more questions along the way!
