Type 2
Hi I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol in may 2015 I was put on metaformin (please excuse spelling) but it didn't agree with me so they put me on sitaglaptin , I don't think it is working tho as I constantly have a dry mouth no matter how much I drink and constantly craving sweets I've always been a savoury person rather than a sweet person and living on the toilet , I've finally been prescribed simvastin for my cholesterol and waiting to hear from the doctors about a new tablet that's not long been out for my diabetes ... I'm struggling to lose weight due to the constant hunger pains that I suffer from and also suffer osteoarthritis in both knees so can't always get about . I'd love to hear from anyone else in the same boat as me and from people who have any ideas what I can eat to maybe keep my hunger at bay but also bearing in mind I also have to lower my cholesterol too . Thank you for reading this
 
Have you looked at the diet info on this forum and tried a low carb high fat diet? If I tag @daisy1 she will come and give you a very helpful intro about what a lot of us have one to bring our levels down.
 
Hi where would I find the diet info? I'm finding it hard to get around on this site that's why the delay in replying I didn't no how to get to my message let alone replies to it :(
