[QUOTE="Evie-D, post: 2041971, member: 505837"] Hi there I was diagnosed with type 2 on Monday with a hba1c of 96 although I have no idea what it means. I asked my gp if I could control this with diet and exercise (I have a bit to lose) but he said no and gave me metformin which I've to ultimately take 4 a day. I've got an appt for the diabetic clinic but this is not for six weeks. I've since spoken to the practice nurse who is arranging for me to speak to a dietitian before then. She also said I should give managing the diabetes through diet and exercise a go, 'why not' she said. Since being diagnosed I immediately went on a low carb (not keto) diet and am doing ok. I do however feel a bit isolated and am worried about the metformin dose. Any advice would be greatly appreciated..... [/QUOTE]
