Newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic
 

I just found out that I am a type 2 diabetic, have high blood pressure and slightly high cholesterol, as well as being overweight. What should my blood sugar be after meals? And on the metformin, I have these symptoms: feel swelled, face gets hot, weak, nauseated, and tired.

Welcome to the Forum! :)

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.
