There will be a local drug and alcohol service near you which your doctor will know or you can find on the internet. AA is very good and supportive. Al-anon is also very good support for families and friends of alcoholics.

Thanks so much for this.

Newly diagnosed with T2 and I've been reading and watching a TED talk about low carbs high fat diet and it's very interesting. What are your experience and views?

This is reassuring or not as the case may be. I was diagnosed T2 on Thursday and the nurse said I don't need to test and they will every three months. I then found this forum and have been reading and it was suggested that I got a testing kit. It makes sense to me that if I want to understand...

I'm reading Reverse your Diabetes by Dr David Cavan which is all focused on T2 diabetes. Good so far.

Very interesting, thanks.

Interesting I have had PCOS for many years but not one doctor along the way said I could end up with T2 or even that there was a risk. I think the last gynecologist I saw just told me I was too fat, her words not mine. Bit more research for my very new journey I think.

Hi @Lianne71 I was just diagnosed as type 2 on Thursday and I am still trying to get my head round it. I have read loads on here and sent off for the code free meter, I am good with the practical stuff but the emotional stuff takes a little while to figure out. Hope you get on OK.

Thanks. I have ordered one of these as the reviews are great and it is cost effective too.

mmol/L and mg/dL what's the difference or easier?

Thank you. I have just been reading very good reviews for this one in particular.

Thank you all for your help. I have posted in the section about testing. I want to do this right so it improves not gets worse.

Just been diagnosed with T2 and my doctor said I don't need to test but then how will I know if things get better or worse? Any advice? I am thinking of getting a testing device/kit any suggestions of easy usable ones would be appreciated?

The doctor did say I do not have to test, but I did wonder how I would know what I was doing. I shall look at testing kits. Thanks.

Thank you. I do think I'm in shock a bit. I have read a lot in the last 24hrs and sent of for a couple of books. I have also ordered a medical alert bracelet, joined diabetes UK and found this forum so I have been productive. I just need my inner world to settle and catch up.

Found out this morning...feel a bit numb and lost if I'm honest.
