[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 892497, member: 94045"] I don't know anything about treatments in Italy. If you were in the UK you would be given a Diabetes Nurse, normally resident at the doctor's surgery. She would put you on the recommended care pathway. This normally involves another set of blood tests in 3 months time, a referral to the retinal eye screening service, a referral for a foot test (or she may do that herself), and some dietary information. She would then see you again in 3 months time. Type 2 diabetics not on insulin and with no unusual problems would not normally see a Consultant doctor. Your husband's levels are not too drastic. Many people on this forum began their diabetes journey with much higher levels. His best chance of controlling this disease is by diet and a little added exercise. Loosing weight will help enormously. The diet most successful is a low carbohydrate one. Carbs such as rice, pasta, potatoes, bread and flour based foods are the worst culprits in raising blood sugars. Do have a read of this thread, which you may find useful [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/a-new-low-carb-guide-for-beginners.68695/[/URL] Good luck, and please ask all the questions you need to.
