[QUOTE="mummycaz, post: 1252817, member: 222095"] Hi everyone, I was diagnosed Type 2 last September and have had three three monthly blood tests since then, everytime they come back at 6.9 and am told that I am doing well. When I was first diagnosed I lost a stone in weight in about two months, but now Im struggling. As its just me looking after me, I can often tell myself its okay to eat certain foods, which I know im not supposed too. I struggle with the low carb thing and just dont really know what on earth im doing. Ive just brought myself an exercise bike to use morning and night and I go out with my three dogs for a walk once a day. If anyone out there can give me some advice/tips on diet etc. that would be brilliant. Thanks Guys I forgot to say that my diabetic nurse and doctor have said that I dont need a meter, so I am literally just being tested by a blood test every three months. I am unsure what a meter will tell me and if I should be thinking about getting one, or will this just make me even more confused? [/QUOTE]
