[QUOTE="Kevmawr, post: 2486689, member: 513750"] I have been type 2 diagnosed 5 years ago. Up and down journey. At age of 55 found out that I could have ADHD and ASD. This may explain years of periodic depression with drop in Dopamine that makes me crave sugar. HBA1C in Oct 2021 was 101. I had pre assessment today and was told me hba1c had to be below 69 for surgery to be carried out. I know I'm struggling even though I am on 2000mg of Metformin. My friend is a Diabetic nurse advisor and she mentioned GLP-1 and Empagliflozin. I know that somehow I need to adopt a low carb diet and increase physical activity. Just feel low as don't drink or smoke and now must give up carbs and sugars to maintain my health. Apologies for feeling sorry for myself. [/QUOTE]
