[QUOTE="Paul59, post: 717803, member: 128625"] A one to one with someone that knows about diabetes would be great when your are diagnosed, most of my mental issues at the start came from not knowing what I could eat mainly & what can happen if i'de continue eating as I had been. I only know what I know now, 3 months in, what I have learned from the forum & outside research as to how it all works. luckily being able to bring my hbA1c down to 44 from 52. The only communication I have had with the Nhs is the minimal info the Dr gave on telling the news & a ***** nurse that told me I was testing to much, without any explanation as to why I was testing too much other than the cost involved, I would have liked to be told why they say only fasting & bed need to be tested, but with research & logic I think I know the answer why but would have been nice to be told. So in answer to OP, I feel more should be done in the initial stage in the form of professional guidance. [/QUOTE]
