So, I’m in Australia and was diagnosed a week ago. T2. On Metformin with instructions to cut diet and exercise more. Another blood test in 3 months.
I’m a pretty pragmatic and logical person so I’m trying to deal with this as best I can. But what is frustrating me is the lack of consistency in information about diet, and the insane amount of confusion that comes from trying to buy better and eat better.
Every report I read seems to have different recommendations on diet.
Every item I look at the supermarket seems to take a different approach to their nutritional information.
I’m starting to be afraid of food.
I don’t know what it is, maybe just psychosomatic, but since the diagnosis I’ve just been feeling completely off. Jumpy at every little ache, and pin and needle. I hope this passes.
No one tells you about upping your health insurance coverage either, that shit is not easy to understand. And the wait periods are all over the place.
Sorry for the rant. Just needed to vent. Anyway. Just trudging through until my next blood test in three months. In the meantime, watching diet and exercising to see where that takes me.
