[QUOTE="JayBee28, post: 2444376, member: 549078"] Hi all, I was diagnosed Type 2 just over 2 weeks ago. HBA1C was 51. My diet was absolutely awful so not really a surprise if I’m brutally honest. I originally asked for a blood text to check my hormone levels, as I’ve just started the menopause. I was feeling so tired during the day, especially in the afternoons. I love sweets, chocolates, biscuits, potatoes and my favourite is pasta. Luckily, I also adore fish, chicken, turkey, berries and vegetables. The diabetic nurse advised me not to get a monitor, but I got one anyway. My first test was over 11 which was really shocking. I have totally cut out sweets, chocolate, sugar in tea, potatoes, pasta, bread (apart from 1 slice of wholemeal). I’ve upped by protein and veg. I did a test yesterday and my level was 5.9. I’ve also increased exercise by just walking, but joining a gym next week. I’m going to take 1 x 500mg of metformin starting next week. I have a full review in 3 months. I’m chuffed with the start I’ve made, but any advice would be welcome. I have so much more energy, the difference is unbelievable even over a couple of weeks. I need to lose about 6 stone. However, I’ve lost half a stone already! Thanks all. JB [/QUOTE]
