[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2040625, member: 323454"] Welcome to the forum, [USER=505710]@Jackie0022[/USER]. Diagnosis comes as such a shock, doesn't it? Glad you found us though. There are lots of knowledgeable, friendly and helpful members on this forum, who will be only too happy to help. Have you looked at changing your diet? Changing the way we eat, can really make a lot of difference to T2s. When I was diagnosed, my GP told me that there probably wouldn't be any option other than going onto insulin (with an HbA1c of 100). After three month low-carbing and metformin (a mild diabetes drug), my blood sugars were at normal non-diabetic levels. Have to agree with [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] though if you are on insulin, it is probably best to do this in cooperation with your specialist as insulin combined with low carbing can lead to dangerously low blood sugar levels. Have a read around the forum and fire away if you have any questions. Also tagging [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] for some super helpful introductory info. [/QUOTE]
