Thanks again... I will certainly be lowering the carbs drastically from now on and see how it works for me ☺ I am desperate to be in total control of my diabetes, not have it in control of me. Everything you have said makes so much sense to me. I live in a very remote area of the Highlands...

I think my gp practice like to only spend money on their patients when they feel it's" a must!" Although I was very grateful to my gp, for allowing me to have a meter etc., prescription immediately, but then he'd already warned me that my anxiety problems wouldn't be helping my blood glucose...

Thank you for your reply ☺ at my first appt after diagnosis, he said that"I might" need to go on tablets after about 12 months"! But thanks to the information provided by you lovely folks, I will definitely be talking to him about this next wee, during my appt. I had also wondered about going...

Thanks for your welcome messages folks. The Scottish website, that my g.p. told me to do my research on is, www.mydiabetesmyway.scot.nhs.uk it says that I can access my records, so hopefully I can keep a better understanding of how I am progressing or not, as the case maybe?! My g.p. allowed...

Hello folks, I got my diagnosis for type 2 on 15th January, it's still taking some getting used to the idea that I actually have it! I have been doing so much research on Diabetes. Co.UK and Diabetes my way (Scotland's own website) Wow.. There's so much to take in isn't there?! Looking...
