I Have Been Just Diagnosed With Type II
 

Hello,
I have been just diagnosed with Type II diabetes and just started with Metformin twice daily,my FBS is 143.

I have 60lbs to loose and am wondering if anyone is on Weight Watchers and how are you doing with the diabetes and loosing weight? I joined Weight Watchers last Tuesday.

I go to my diabetes class on June 9th, which is the first date they had open. Overall I feel good, but have had terrible sleeping problems and night sweats, probably because I am 56 years young. The doctor thinks my diabetes is a combination of age onset and being overweight. Who knows? All I know is I want to be very diligent to work with this the best way I can. It has been a great shock and I have had no symptoms at all.

Please advise with any help for a real newbie at this.

Thanks,
Melanie in Colorado:)
