Sort Of newbie

[Rivki061]

Hello to everyone.
My name is Debbie and I was diagnosed as type 2 in August '08.
I take two Metformin 500mg tablets twice daily but I do find the diet a bit hard sometimes.

The reason I am a sort of newbie is that I used to post here some while ago but I forgot my details which is likely due to the fact that I'm not getting any younger or because I didn't make a note of them.
I'm looking forward to getting to know other posters and exchanging ideas and thoughts. 🙂

Hi There,

Welcome back! I was diagnosed with Type 2 last month and just finding my feet. Currently on 2 x 500mg Metformin. Finding the side effects a bit hard but persevering!

Look forward to chatting some more soon.

That's the thing I'm not sure what my old user name was;it was either Debbie or Rivka but I'm not certain.
I'm not getting any younger!

Hi Donna.
I started off on 2x 500mg of Metformin but my last blood sugar results shot up and the dose was doubled.
I have been fortunate enough not to have had too many side effects but I do find the diet a bit confusing especially knowing exactly how many carbs are (is) ok.
