Actually I am type 2, diagnosed about 4 months ago, My A1C was 10.8 but is not down to 6.9 and my sugar ran in the 500's . I have always been small, but since I started the metformin , I continue to lose weight, I have got my sugar under control, but I do cheat every once in a while. as long as i dont go over 60 carbs a meal and snacks are 30 carbs, I seriously cant figure it out. my brother died at 52 with diabetes and my mom and dad also had it. I am thinking of going to an diabetic doctor instead of a family doctor since I do have some issues with my feet etc. but I also have cholesterol so i am limited in diet there also. drives me crazy trying to figure all this out. what i can eat for diabetes , i cant eat with the cholesterol and vice versa. I feel a lot better it is just I cant afford to lose anymore , i will look like skeleton. Thanks for all the advice I will seek answers on it...
