Good Afternoon,
I am new to this, I had a call from my GP surgery last week and the receptionist told me I am a new diabetic patient but I cannot see anyone until next week. I went through my GP records on line and it said type 2.
I am 47 and over weight so I know that will be the first issue.
What I am wondering is what is the usual first steps when diagnoised?
I had gestational diabetes with my last two pregnancies 8-10 years ago so I knew there was always a risk this would happen but I was put on insulin for both pregnancies and so it was a very different way of dealing with things.
Thank you for reading.
