Hi, I’m type 2 and due up in hospital for kidney/ bladder surgery next week. Hopefully it’ll only be an overnight stay. Thing is I’ve looked at the menu and there is nothing at breakfast to eat that isn’t carb based. I’m happy to fast usually but as I won’t be eating much the day before due to...

So I got the type 2 diagnosis at the end of November with hba1c of 79! Came on here and had a major whinge, but got myself a meter and cut out every carb I could. I’ve lost 11 kilos :). Just got my latest test results back and everything is normal again., according to the gp. Whoop whoop...

As the title says really. Where do you get yours, how much is it and do you get side effects? Thanks

Got my first meter. The Tee2 as recommended on here. Took a while to set it up, work it all out, do a control test etc. Then deep breath and click! YOW! I know I have a low pain threshold now, but this is ridiculous. OH nearly dropped his tea when I yelped! Meter needs a big warning label...

After shock diagnosis last week (see previous thread) I went to the DN yesterday. What a waste of my time. She was new to the practice, b*ggered up the pc and spent more time trying to get into the system than talking to me. This practice really is a bl**dy shower! She took my weight, apparently...

A little background info on me first. 52 years old and struggled with weight since having ds2 17 years ago. Went down to 12 stone with LCMs a few years ago and then diaiwith breast cancer in 2012. Had the works thrown at it: mastectomy, chemo radiotherapy + tamoxifen and now aromasin. I also...
