    Type 2 diagnosis today

    Thank you to all of you for replying, I sincerely do appreciate your input, I was a bit confused I must admit, especially when I was told I would only be on one pill per day, I asked if I could just manage on diet alone, but the doctor was quite adamant about it, she was not my own doctor, she...
