i need help please. I have noticed that no matter what goes in my mouth
i tend to crash about 30 minutes later. I am not eating high carb or
sugar. can anyone suggest what I can eat to stop this. I am tired of
feeling horrible just because I am eating. I feel like every time I eat I need to go sleep for a few hours. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Depending on what and when you are eating and checking your glucose levels, you shouldn't be crashing. Are you sure you aren't too high in the glucose levels? When mine are high I tend to go to sleep.
I personally follow the South Beach phase 2 eating plan. I made some modifications to it using my monitor and a steno pad. Check glucose level, eat a food, then check again 90 minutes later. Journal all of this on your steno pad. You will see a pattern emerge after about 30 days.
When testing foods this way, if my glucose goes above 150, I eliminate that food from my food plan or only have it occasionally in very small servings.
I recommend either of these books: Diabetes: The First Year, and Atkins Diabetes Revolution. You can find them at the local library, Ebay, or any good bookstore.
Good luck trying to find your answers.

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.

Are you testing? Check your glucose when you feel that way. Your doctor can get the numbers off your glucometer next visit and see what the pattern is. I'd make an appointment for as soon as possible because we shouldn't feel lousy all the time. That's no fun.

May I suggest you call your local hospital; and ask for a social worker. Ask her to put you in touch with someone who could help.
Most hospitals have an educational program , many at little or no cost.
Also, this link will be a great help. put it on your desktop.
This might be very minor or very serious. Ask an expert...please!
