[QUOTE="Beccahn, post: 1919865, member: 494956"] Hi all, As the tile suggests, I'm newly diagnosed...6 days ago..and pretty shell shocked. I’ve had issues with Inflammation and iritis for the last year, having lots of blood tests which came back negative. On my last appointment with my eye consultant, she noticed micro-aneurisms at the back of my eyes and ordered blood tests for diabetes. Hba1c came back as 98. GP took fasting bloods at 18, with sugar in my urine and confirmed type 2. My GP is lovely, she’s prescribed 0.5 Metformin, rising to 1.0 next week and has booked me in with diabetic nurse, organised ecg and further blood pressure tests, written to cardiology department for tests as I have poor cardiac health in the family BUT I feel utterly bewildered by it all. I’ve scoured this site and others trying to absorb as much as possible about lchf diets but am so confused about the right level of daily carbs to aim for as it seems to range from 20-200. I’ve gone out and purchased the Accu-Chek mobile as I want to get a handle on it all as soon as possible. First test after breakfast yesterday Bg was 18.5. Fasting this morning was 12.3. 2 hours after breakfast was 12 3 hours after dinner was 15.3. Am I going in the right direction? Any help and as advise would be so gratefully received. [/QUOTE]
