Thank you so much, after reading your comments yesterday, I was like no 3 weeks is too long to wait. I have assume I am type 2 at this stage, if I need to buy something different down the line I will.

Hi, as my new diabetes appointment is not for 3 weeks have decided to get a monitoring machine. Have been looking an Amazon and found one, just wondered before I purchase whether anyone has any recommendations? Thank you

Welcome Kev, I am new of this week also. Take time to read and don't rush. My test at surgery was 17.3 on blood glucose machine am now waiting on my hb result. Have found this site great so far, so keep coming here with questions. Have you been put on meds?

Hi went to drs first thing today, as have some signs I was concerned about. Appointment was at 0830 and hadn't eaten since yesterday, glucose level 17.3...and in urine, all my symptoms matched. Was diagnosed on the spot and even had my fasting bloods done there and then as I hadn't had any...
