[QUOTE="CallMeAlan, post: 2397160, member: 542625"] Hi all. I'm a 71 year old male, diagnosed just this week with Type 2. I'd been suffering with dry mouth and frequent small urinations for a few weeks, and decided, enough is enough, and consulted the doctor. She asked for a urine sample and then, during a phone conversation, sent me for a blood test. The conclusion was, yes, it's diabetes type 2. She prescribed Metformin, 2 x 500 mg. Today is day three of the drug. I've completely cut out sugar, which I used a LOT! Watching the carbs and have bought a couple of books about it. She didn't tell me the test readings. Only taken 3 Metformins so far so early days. The urination has settled down to more like normal and hoping the dry mouth will go away. I note that Type 2 most often affects the overweight, but I'm just a skinny 10 stone. Anyway, hello to all! Alan [/QUOTE]
