New to Type 2

dLife member Ilamamama says: "I was just diagnosed with type 2 in mid-November. I am currently taking 1000 mg of metformin and Byetta, but my numbers are still high (140-180 range). I am scheduled to attend diabetes classes starting January 8 and I'm looking forward to that because I feel completely overwhelmed by the whole thing. I need to lose a lot of weight and also start exercising, but I have no energy or enthusiasm to do so. I'm getting tired of hearing "Can you eat that?" or "What about your sugar?" from people."
