Hi Iggy-lil I assume that your doctor is trying diet with you before medication? I think that's what I find so frustrating - the fact that they were so quick to dish tablets out before trying diet. It makes me feel that they were doing what was easiest for them. What are you eating at the...

The nurse I saw didn't even suggest self testing. Guess I am sounding pathetic. I know there are worse conditions I could have but I feel like my life is almost over and I am so scared. Husband is shouting because he really can't stand me.infact if he could read this now he would say it's...

It's been 2 weeks since my type 2 diagnoses.I thought I had come to terms with it but suddenly became so depressed today.I can't stop crying. My husband won't stop shouting at me because he says that I am making him ill. I am so confused because every website seems to give me different advice...

So now can you all tell me honestly, My treat is going out for afternoon or cream tea it only ever happens about twice a year. A bit like an alcoholic I don't think I can cope with knowing that it will never happen again! So can I get away with it very very occasionally?

I can only keep thanking you all for all of your advice. I can't believe that I have got to 50 and know so little about the food I eat. I am printing everything out and building s folder up so that I cam refer to it when I need to. I am feeling more positive about it all now rather that feeling...

Hi Thanks for that. What does every one have in stead of bread because flour kind of rules out pastry too. I am a little shocked because I had actually presented my diabetic nurse with a list of all the things that I had eaten during the week. It included macaroni cheese,pasta and curry with...

Many,many thanks for all your comments. They really are helping but I feel very confused. I spent yesterday printing out a whole load of recipes. I love cooking and baking and really want to find recipes that the whole family can enjoy. I seem to have found conflicting opinions about carbs...

To be honest I have never felt SO alone in my life.my husband just tells me that I'm not the only person feeling ill. I am not attention seeking just scared because this feels like the end of the road

Just as a PS I wonder if other viewers to the forum can tell me what support I should expect from my GP?

Hi I visited my doctor last Monday after having classic diabetic symptoms. I was called back to see a nurse and had a fasting blood test the following day. The nurse had a brief chat with me about a healthy diet. However I feel that I have had very little support. I was very confused about what...
