Advice please folks. Found out a week ago I have type 2 diabetes, found in a blood test (I’d been feeling really tired all time) beginning of March. As my doctor didn’t believe results had another blood test which confirmed it.
I’m 45, active (walk 6-10km a day) non smoker/drinker with a very low BMI (long story but had cancer as a baby so never been able to put weight on). I think I eat quite healthily (no sugary/processed or fried foods and I don’t have a sweet tooth), my husband is Italian so maybe I eat too much pasta?!
Doctor not sure reason I have developed Type 2 days it may be a late effect of cancer treatments I had or may just have happened for no reason. He has requested a pancreas scan and started me on Sukkarto to take 2 a day. He gave no advice re diet but I am due to see the nurse in a few days time.
A lot of literature I’ve read in the past week gives great advice but I’m very concerned about changing my diet and losing weight. As mentioned above I really do struggle to maintain my weight. Any advice for a very confused newbie much appreciated x
