[QUOTE="Kentoldlady1, post: 1585633, member: 414280"] Hello and welcome to this site. It has changed my life. I also started with the blood sugar diet book but gave up on the recipes cos they were both expensive and fiddly. This site has a great low carb food section that has some great hints and I use it a lot. As to your type of diabetes, I hope you find out soon what type you have because it makes a big difference in terms of medication. I see that you are to have another hbalc but have they mentioned any other tests? If not could you ask? As the others have already said, it is easily possible to be a skinny t2d. My mum has looked much like a stick her entire life, which might bebe why her t2d was not spotted until she was past 70. I take metformin with no issues. It has many other benefits so am happy with it. But its your choice what you take. Read everything. Find original studies and read those. Nobody can tell you what is best for you but you can get enough info to decide if you agree with your gp. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
