Hi
This is my first post. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes back in April, this was after slowly losing weight over 18 months without trying (I went down from 10 stone to 8 1/2 stone). I went to the GP, had a blood test which came back with a HbA1C level of 94 mmol/mol. Since diagnosis I have been put on Metformin, starting with a low dose, I now take 4 tablets a day. My last HbA1C test in September was 61mmol/mol which was encouraging. I was just wondering if there are many more skinny type 2 diabetics out there? We hear so much about people wanting to lose weight but I would quite like to put a few healthy pounds on. Any advice would be welcome.
