Thanks for your concern and advice Mike - already on the case with regard to exercise, weight loss and major overhaul of diet to reduce blood sugars...have had loads of help from Healthcare Team in all these areas [and gained a lot from people on here] but it seems that my particular GP's...

Thanks Mike... HBA1C was 9.9% [85] at diagnosis just after Christmas, weight 95kgs

Ah, that's the problem - I'm "diet only" at present and not testing. My DS Nurse seems to favour not testing until the blood test 3-months from diagnosis.

Mid-morning at work are always testing for me as everyone else in the office seems to be reaching for the chocolate bars and biscuits! My favourites are a few carrot or celery sticks and a small pot of huomous or a mix of dried fruit, assorted nuts and pumpkin seeds. Drat...feeling hungry now! :(

Me too! Have only just been diagnosed T2 but have had similar nail problems for several years. A test of clippings confirmed Fungal Infection but at least three lots of medication have failed to clear it up. Seeing the Diabetes Team Nurse next week so will discuss with her as it could well be...

I have Cetraban Emollient Cream on prescription which does help the itching -also Cetraban Bath "Oil" which really works for me! As a diabetic [and over 60] prescriptions are free so worth asking the Doc!
