It'd be a great idea to see your doctor for a sit down chat!. In the first instance, they should recommend seeing a dietician, as I'm sure you have questions as to what are the right and wrong things to eat!. Moreover, if you are overweight, you'd be doing yourself a great favour by losing weight!. Exercise is greatly beneficial, and even if you don't lose weight with it, you'll find your sugars will improve!. This is because in your form of diabetes, your pancreas is making relatively insufficient amounts of insulin (the hormone that lowers sugars), because your body is very resistant!. Exercise lowers that resistance, as does weight loss!.
Make sure the doctor also has you registered for regular eye screening, as diabetes is still the leading cause of blindness in the working age group in the western world!.
Also, a the dose of metformin that you are starting on can cause bowel upsets!. If this is the case, reduce the dose and slowly build it back up over a fortnight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
