Hi Everyone Well I had my first clinic visit today :D . What a difference - I may have had an awful GP but the Practice Nurse was BRILLIANT!! Although my GP had refused me a monitor & strips, she gave me a monitor and put the strips on repeat prescription. She was also surprised that I had...

Thank you!! :D

Well done Rob & Daisy - you must be so pleased. (I'd put a smiley face on but I don't know how to do it!!) Maria

Thank you all - managed to get an appointment with the practice nurse on Thursday. I've just returned from a weekend in Aberystwyth. Can't say I was brilliant all weekend but NO bread, rice, pasta or potatoes - did have a Sunday lunch but left the potatoes, parnsips & yorkshire pud etc. Just...

Thank you all for your support and kind words. I feel much more positive today - mad, if I'm honest to allow myself to be treated like that at 50 years of age!! It's really comforting to know there are so many kind people out there who understand. Thank you again. Maria xx

Hi Angelousbabe - I have also just been diagnosed with type 2 and was also suffering from excessive tiredness, mood swings and feeling really low. At least I now know what's wrong with me and that I can (hopefully) improve things. I've been struggling for ages to try a lose weight, without...

Thanks Daisy - after reading other posts on this forum it's really nice to know that there is support out there. My grandaughter is type 1 (she's 4 and was diagnosed when she was 2). Seems a bit bizarre but I've read that you should cut down on potatoes, pasta, rice, bread etc and yet the...

Hello everyone - I have just been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I haven't seen my GP yet but the hospital has recommended a HbA1c test now. My initial results were Fasting Glucose 8.4 mmol/L and 17.7 mmol/L after 2 hours. I have no idea whether these results are very high and will require...
