What a difference a few days makes!

So, now only 4 days post diagnosis and 3 days on Metformin. There have been some really huge improvements already.
Metformin hasn't disagreed with me too much so I've got to 2 tablets a day.
BG this morning was 8. I know that's high still but it's going the right way. Pre lunch was 7.4 and only 8.4 after lunch.... and I had decided to see what effect crisps had too, so that's a treat that's not off the list.
My thirst has diminished and I actually feel hungry.
I am enjoying the challenge of finding foods I can eat.
It's been difficult to focus when reading as my eyes are still blurry but my glasses are working so I can reduce the font on my phone again!

I think I'm feeling better, thanks! The eyes are still blurry but when I stick my glasses on I can see properly. But I have no idea the last time my bg wasn't stupidly high so I can't actually remember what normal might feel like. My bg has stayed below 9 all day, I've just gone up to 3 tablets a day so we'll see what happens with that.

I've been on my own this week as both OH and DD have been away so I have not had to worry about anyone else. That makes it much easier! I was cross with them both as neither of them asked how I was when they got home but OH has made up for it with some thoughtful shopping, all low carb and he's checked the labels on every one!
On my own again next week and have a few things planned, but next week is the beginning of exercise too. Time to load up the phone with an audiobook or two and get going.

Oh, and dropping to really low carbs has already reduced stomach bloating and I have had my belt two holes smaller today!
