[QUOTE="GuidingSenses, post: 2070281, member: 508348"] [SIZE=5]Hello all[/SIZE] Im already coeliac and lactose intolerant then yesterday I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes! Obviously it was a dark day yesterday and still getting my head around this! The nurse asked if I’d known I was pre diabetic for the past 2 years... erm Nope! I was shocked as I was 10.2 mmol. I’ve been coeliac for only 2 years. What the heck can I eat? Nurse very abrupt... no you cannot have more than two small potatoes a day. No you cannot have gluten free no sugar cornflakes as sugar amount per 100g was 9 and it has to be less than 5. I can have eggs not fried, bacon, veg fruit but no berries or soft fruit! Bananas only small snack size. I said wow this will be so restrictive! I said I’m going away and I struggle to get gluten free snacks and realise the bars are very sugar loaded. She suggested a small bag of cherry tomatoes and carrot sticks. Ok this will be healthy and I feel my sugars must’ve gone up cos I started having 1 red glass wine a day and drinking chocolate every night. Once I had my scary letter red blood test and before I knew I cut out sugar in coffee the red wine and hot choc. The only symptom I had was a sore tongue and dry mouth - had this for 5 months. Two days of not having this sugar my dry mouth and tongue are healthy again. I feel I’m miffed that I wasn’t given the chance to just try diet rather then straight onto metformin. Just had my 2nd metformin (day 2) and yes feel pregnant lol. Nausea slight in waves. I took first one at 4 pm yesterday and felt human at 12 noon today - 20 hours of slight nausea. Does the side effect increase as dose increases? The happy side is I don’t feel like eating and yes need to lose weight even though I do go to a ladies gym 3 tines week. Do I ring my coeliac diet nurse as I’m at risk of osteoporosis and need to have more calcium but hey I’m lactose intolerant so can I eat my lactofree cheese whilst diabetic?? Realise I’ve posted so much! Ps anyone get an ovary tenderness, just started yesterday and I read this drug treats pcos? I’ve read the ‘newly diagnosed’ part and am so grateful for finding you! Ps I’m female aged 57 and UK. [/QUOTE]
