[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 935711, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. I'm worried that you had NHS diet advice as so often this is the opposite of what you should do. Follow Daisy'd advice and redcue the carsb way down. Set a daily max of, say, 150gm and even less if possible. You need to have enough protein and fats (yes, fats!) and veg to keep you feeling full. It's apity you can't exercise but diet is always the key. The Metformin will help a bit to reduce the insulin resistance you will undoubtedly have. A meter is essential for you to take control and see what foods affect you and by how much. If the weight doesn't come down enough, the GP can prescribe a weekly injection of something like Victoza which is targeted at those withe excess weight. Do discuss with him if needed to check it will suit you. [/QUOTE]
