tiredness and weight gain have dogged my days for nearly 18 months !
 
Hi mick maybe start by telling us how you were diagnosed how long for and what meds if any you are on, do you have a good care team around you also x

Mick, have a look at the following links:

Maggie Davey's letter to newly diagnosed Type 2s:

and also Jennifer's good advice:

Plus, a highly recommended book: Type 2 Diabetes: The First Year by Gretchen Becker. I know you've been diagnosed for a little while, but this should help you get things sorted in your mind about what everything means and how to set about improving your situation. Knowledge is power! 🙂
 
welcome to the forum Mick.

You will find loads of really helpfull friendly folk on here.

Andy
