[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 888122, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. If the diet sheet you have been given is a standard NHS one then you may choose to ignore it and follow the diet advice on this forum and that given by Daisy. You need to keep the carbs down and have enough protein, fats and veg to make you feel full. Fats are not bad for us and all carbs are a problem and not just sugar. Bluetit has given you a typical good appointment scenario. You should be given an Hba1C blood test within 3 months. The surgery may wait for 3 months whilst you diet (which won't work if it's the NHS one!). The eye tests and other tests including further HBa1Cs should be given at least annually. You may be started on Metformin which is a good, safe drug which many of us have. It helps a bit but diet is the key. [/QUOTE]
