Hi!
I got diagnosed with type 2 two days ago, on friday.
It was a complete shock, and I still struggle with believing it. I`m trying to understand what this means for me, for my life, for my diet etc. My doc didn`t tell me much. He sent me home and told me to measure my bloodsugar for the next 4 weeks, and to take 500mg Metformin every morning and evening. When I was at his office, my sugar was 15. At home these last 2 days, it has been as "low" as 11,4 and as high as 21,3. I`m dizzy, shaking and feeling pretty bad at times.
I`m trying to understand what you guys are writing, but I don`t know all the medical terms yet. I see you often talk about BG, what is that? And I see numbers way over 100, when talking about what I think I understand to be bloodsugar? If someone would explain/point me in the right direction, I would appreciate a little crashcourse.
