My GP of the last 17years has just retired and so I went to see the doctor replacing her as I needed more prescriptions for Insulin and needed to meet the doctor before a script would be provided.

    Thank goodness for this forum!!!!

    :D I just want to say thankyou to every one and the advice and support offered on this forum. I just came from the doctors being told that my HBA1C was 6.8 down from 8.6 3 months ago.

    Advice please!

    Hi,I have never posted before and was diagnosed Type 2 in June of this year.
