I am very happy to be part of this great community! I was diagnosed T2 in 2004 and have managed my condition very well (so far!!!). Took me a long time to accept things and at first thought I was "doomed" However I have a great Diabetic Nurse looking after me who is very supportive. My reading at the last review was 6.5 (after being 7.1 on the previous visit) and have lost 3 stone in the last 12 months (I know very slow). I have read some very interesting posts and cant wait to get involved in discussions, or even give advice from my own experiences.
