Hello ... I saw the podriatrist today ... she said my feet are actually in very good condition (yay!), and the wobbly walk is not a diabetes issue ... funny enough, she also suggested walking poles (and to see my gp).

I am finally able to see a Podiatrist on the 14th, next Thursday (after self referring and waiting, as my surgery doesn't have a foot person on board). My main worry I want to bring to their attention is a difficulty in walking that has developed in the last few months, namely wobbly walking...

I feel the same about my dog Flint ... he has certainly helped my battle with T2 considerably. I meet other people in my walks who have similar relationships with their dogs ... it's heartwarming.

Thanks very much ... never heard of that before ... it's amazing ... :)

Morning, James, Happy New Year. Just want to ask where the structure with the horses in your avatar is in the world? Looks absolutely fascinating, I'd like to investigate ... thanks :)

Went to quarterly Diabetes Clinic today. Met a new doctor to the surgery ... sociable, cheerful and interested in my progress. Result of HBA1C Test is 42 mmol/mol (23.5 - 43.2). (down from 48 at diagnosis). My doctor was amazed, and very happy for me ... he asked me "Have you discovered a...

I went to my surgery to give blood in advance of my next Diabetes Clinic on Tuesday. The nurse told me she was only instructed by her computer to take blood for the HBA1C test, but not for the cholesterol, etc. test like last time. Apparently my previous lipids test was so good I was now on...

Hello and welcome ... excellent first post ... I love your expression "diagnosis by numbers", I think I may steal it. I also doff my cap to you, and wish you continued success :)

Others in the forum can explain much better, but in the meantime, don't panic, this is a routine test ordered for newly diagnosed diabetics, to make sure there are no issues with the feet (where diabetes can do a lot of damage) - same thing happened to me.

Best of luck with the exams
