    Hello, I'm new to all this ...

    I was diagnosed as Type 2 Diabetic last week (oh joy!). I am still awaiting an appointment with the Diabetic Nurse to tell me what to do and if I need medication. My GP said I would probably need to take Metformin but said the Nurse would sort that out??? Unfortunately I am a Haemodialysis...
