Hello and welcome @Jasperleah. Gosh, what a brutal way to find out that you have diabetes - I really feel for you! However, you have come to the right place for information, help and support, so try not to be too scared. I found out my blood test results in March this year by looking at my...

…and it really has been a tough 3 months! After discovering my HbA1c was 68 in March 2021, I devised a “plan”, which some of you lovely people gave the once-over and said was pretty much OK. Since then I have gone low-carb to the best of my ability, without actually counting gms, though the...

Thanks everyone for your reassuring and supportive replies. Game on!!! I am trying to maintain cordial relations with the surgery, though I am disappointed in how useless they are. It’s sad to hear that this kind of poor service isn’t uncommon. In respect of readings, well, not making much...

Thanks for this. I do test at home, though infrequently. I’ll make sure I keep an eye on my BP too

Evening everyone. Bit of a story, but please bear with me. On 10th March I had my bloods done as part of my annual BP review (BP well controlled with medication). I recently became able to access my patient records online, so I logged in 2 days later to see if my results were through, mainly...
