Newly Diagnosed

Found out I have T2 diabetes 2 weeks ago. I started taking 1500 mg of metformin daily and will see my doctor in 4 weeks to see how it is working. Luckily I started going to the gym and eating better in January so I've already lost some weight. It is very overwhelming. There is so much to think about daily. I started logging my foods and that seems to help me stay focused. I've been a member here for quite awhile but never utilized the whole site. I look forward to learning more about diabetes and getting support from all of you.

Welcome von, glad you decided to join us!
Your off to a great start. Congratulations on your weight loss so far. You've made a great decision joining a gym and focusing on a healthier lifestyle. From my experience, those two choices alone will be very beneficial and a huge first step towards living a healthier lifestyle for you as a T2 diabetic.
You hit the nail on the head, an initial diagnosis of D is overwhelming to be sure, there's a lot for us as diabetics to think about on a daily basis when it comes to managing our condition. There's many caring, knowledgeable and supportive people in this support group, eager to share their experiences living with this condition in an effort to help you navigate through the many questions or concerns you might have. I welcome any opportunity to be of help and support to you in the future.
Best wishes for good health!0
