[QUOTE="hazelo, post: 1621936, member: 377247"] Hi this is my first post so please excuse me if this is not the correct forum. I am happy to see posts from other T2D "skinny" people as most of the posts and advice I have seen so far do not fit this model. I have been diagnosed for about 2 years now and have not found much advice I could use. I am just over 5ft.4" and weigh 62kg, have no flat belly and wear UK size 8-10 trousers (& just turned 50) . I prefer vegetables and fruit and do not eat much in the line of sweets (never been a big fan), preferring savouries and cheeses. I am generally active and do a lot of walking, especially for work. The only advice I got from a doctor was cut out sugars and try not to lose weight. I have seen the nurse 3 times since being diagnosed. At my last blood test I was told my sugar level was 80 and the nurse doubled my medication. I haven't been back for any other tests since and when I did phone the surgery recently to ask when I will be sent for another one (being my annual check-up), they told me I should receive an invitation shortly. This was over two months ago. So, in summary I am not very sure about my condition and what I should be doing, am getting no help from the nurse that I was allocated to, never had a regular doctor and am very confused. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
