[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2105997, member: 400972"] Hi Sweetie and welcome to the forum! First let me post this link with useful newbies’ info: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.17088/[/URL] I was diagnosed in May ‘17 with type 2, I was morbidly obese at the time and felt ashamed too. I soon learnt that it wasn’t my fault, many people have the lazy, carb munching lifestyle that I had and don’t become type 2, it really is bad luck, so please don’t feel guilty. Anyway you’ve come to the best little corner of the internet for help and support to get your blood sugars and weight under control. With in four months of my diagnosis I got my HbA1c down to non diabetic levels and had lost a shed load of weight. I did it by taking Metformin and by reducing my carb intake, initially 100g/day and I self tested before and after meals to see what foods suited me and what didn’t.
