I was diagnosed as a Type 2 on December 1st. I had suspected for a while that something was going on. I currently weigh 266 (after losing 60 pounds) and was having some tingling in my feet and toes. I hadn’t seen a doctor in 20 years (severe phobia) but screwed up my courage and went.
I’ve been taking metformin for a month now (500mg in the morning and 500mg with my evening meal) and I’m not sure if I’m seeing any results. I’ve been eating fewer carbs than I had been and avoiding white potatoes, bread and pasta).
My 2hour after eating bg levels are under 140 where my doctor said they should be, but my morning fasting number is consistently in the 130s. It doesn’t matter what I eat the night before. I could have xmas dinner or a salad, it’s 135 in the morning. My doctor wants that down to 100. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Anyway, I look forward to participating here. I’ve already learned so much from reading the posts.
