[QUOTE="MichaelUK, post: 139335, member: 27228"] Hello Hiya everyone looking for some advice, newly diagnosed with Type 2 five weeks ago currently on one metformin 500mg twice a day and one simvastatin taken at night. My blood sugar was 17.8 on my first blood test with doctor. I feel knackered all the time, no energy whats so ever, sometimes i feel like i seem to be getting better but then the next day i am knocked for six again also suffering from headaches a couple of times a week. Changed my diet trying to cut out all sugars and processed foods, having more pasta and rice, lots more fruit and vegs, was wondering about the fruit i am having roughly two of the following each day, satsuma, bananna, apple and pears. could these be effecting my BS. The veg i am having varying from day to day are carrots, cabbage, peas, sweetcorn, some baked beans but not to much due to the sauce, salad veg. Having porridge for breaksfast mixed with some seeds ands nuts. this is new to me never had breakfast before. Been told by the doctor i do not need to test my BS until she see me again on 30 July for the next round of blood tests so i do not know where i am with my BS levels on a regular basis but have tested them a couple of times using my Father's test meter but can not do this every day due to me using up his test strips, can these be purchased without a presciption? and they show a little decrease on a morning at 13.8 which i know is still way to high. Sorry for such a long post and any spelling mistake finding it hard to concentrate this morning due to a headache. Michael [/QUOTE]
