[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 340351, member: 21149"] Hi John. Are you normal weight? If so, I would query the diagnosis of T2. Having T2 at age 22 is very unusual as most diabetes of the young is T1 or late onset T1 (LADA). The treatment regime may be similar at first but T1s may progress faster. Do get hold of a blood sugar meter and check your sugars around 2 hours after a meal as Squire Fulwood has said. If they read quite high and continue to go higher despite a low-carb diet and exercise then do go back to the surgery. For both Penn and yourself follow the links Daisy has given and control your carb intake and keep them high fibre and low-GI where you can. Do 'eat to the meter' as others have said. Any form of exercise is good but some exercise each day is good. I go to the gym 3 times a week and spend up to an hour on the jogger or resistance machines, but you must find what suits you best.
