[QUOTE="Merluna, post: 328167, member: 49918"] Hi red! I know how you feel! I was only diagnosed t2 4 weeks go! I felt much the same and still do sometimes! I started on metformin once a day and now I'm on 3x a day. My fasting bg was 16 and my hpa1c was 12! Not good! I have changed my diet, cut my carbs in half and changed those I do have to low gi. I have had bg readings of 9 all day today and I'm really chuffed! A hpa1c of 12 suggested my ave. bg was 18-19!!!!!!! My average bg is now 10 which equates overtime to a hpa1c of 7.2 which is fantastic! Only an estimate but with small changes you can put things right. Try not to worry, you need to educate yourself about foods with carbs and hidden carbs in, I have porridge for my breakfast, many on here it doesn't suit but I'm fine with it :) I try to have no more that 45g of carbs in any meal. I calculate it looking at the values on packets of stuff! I also fill myself with low carb veg such as broccoli and cauliflower. I find celeriac a lovely low gi alternative to potato (approx1.9g carb per 100g) Try not to worry too much, I'm only 32 and have developed t2 as a result of other hormone related conditions. You will be fine :) [/QUOTE]
