[QUOTE="dmcd11, post: 273901, member: 37120"] I have been diagnosed with type 2 and am waiting to go on a training day to tell me how to manage it. I have an appt with my diabetes nurse in a few weeks. I thought I was doing ok, as I have a list that my Dr gave me and I have been mainly sticking to that apart from the occassional chocolate. My problem is that I have been having lots of sweats and Im always hungry (altho I would like to lose weight, I havent lost anything) I end up eating large amounts of food from the list that the diabetic nurse gave me for example tonight I had three plates of homemade chicken dinner within an hour :-( I still wasnt full I feel tired a lot and get exhausted easily I have taken my blood sugar and it is 3.7 tonight I read you have to take something with sugar in if that happens so I ate a small kit kat.......is that right? in the morning when I wake my blood sugar is about 5.1 - 6.1 I am very confused and scared when I eat incase I'm doing something wrong I also feel like my feet and hands get colder more easily and I feel very thirsty, especially during the night.......I dont sleep with the sweats finally, my big worry is that last time the diabetic nurse wanted to put me on a tablet and statins but I dont want to go on tablets unless I really need them.........do I? I had hoped, that if I could lose weight (I am 14st8lbs and 5.5ft ie counted as obese) that my blood sugar reading would be good/no need for tablets. I feel that I may be doing all the wrong things. Can anyone help put me straight please/any advice from someone like me. thanks [/QUOTE]
