[QUOTE="Rusco, post: 1914844, member: 494425"] Hi all I was diagnosed after losing my vision dramatically over a period of 3 days, via my optician I was referred to A&E who discovered my blood sugar was 28.9. Im T2 and not massively overweight probably only a stone and has always had a reasonable diet with only odd treat here and there, so was quite shocked to be diagnosed. I’m injecting insulin twice a day and have also started on metformin, my bloods are now ranging between 5 and 8 with a couple of real lows chucked in. I’m wanting to do everything I can to help myself but just don’t know where to start! Low carb seems popular? I’ve had retina scans and nothing sinister has been found, however they believe I’ve been T2 for a while as my eye linings have thickened and I have some kidney damage. Will these resolve themselves now I’m on insulin? I’m also trying to get on a DESMOND course. I’m trying to learn as much as possible but it’s overwhelming. Are there any top tips from you guys to kick off my inspiration ? [/QUOTE]
