Recently Diagnosed Type 2

Hello all. I've recently been told I have type 2 diabetes. Had blood test done and my doctor actually rang me to tell me as my appointment with them isnt for a few weeks. So I realise its serious and Im starting medication tomorrow. Ive done lots of googling and often the symptoms are constant hunger and thirst etc. But Ive actually lost my appetite for the past week or so. And not really thirsty at all. I definitely feel "odd" inside and can only presume thats to do with the blood sugar levels being so high...

But I guess my main question is has anyone actually lost their appetite with Type 2 diabetes ?
