Type 2. Newly ish diagnosed.
was diagnosed with sudden onset type 2 (a year prior all stats were normal) in December after being so fatigued and run down. AC1 was 12.7 I’m half Asian and weight is 91kg but I’m 5’11 and 40 yrs old. My nurse keeps pushing the soups and shakes diet but my diet is pretty good and I think at a 28 BMI (at most my weight fluctuates between 88-91kg) is dangerous. I eat better than the information in the uk diabetes eating guide. I have been on metformin but average blood sugar is between 8-11 daily.
What will be my next steps. I think perhaps GPL1s but I don’t think I’ll be prescribed this on the nhs.
Is there anyone that is a similar weight/height or BMI with type 2 and how it is being managed that can provide advice???
I don’t know anyone else with diabetes that isn’t very overweight so I’m a bit stuck apart from diabetes nurse advice
Given I’ve been told it will not reverse through diet I’m at a loss as metformin is lowering it but still 7-12 through the day when testing.
Thanks in advance!!!!
