Hello. Nice to know it is not just me who is having problems. I assumed because I have only recently joined that it was the reason I can't read or send private messages. I've tried clicking on the side panel for inbox etc but it just comes up you are not authorised. Oh well maybe one day. Either...

Hello. First thing is don't worry (easier said than done). Is it worth ringing the nurse back and explaining you are hard of hearing and are unsure what she told you? If they say something you don't understand you can always stop them and ask them to explain - I know our nurses are much better...

Humm. Not sure I can class myself as newly diagnosed as for the last five years the GP has been Yes/No with the diagnosis. I was told five years ago it was prediabetes, then diabetes, then No you don't have diabetes back to last week when Yes you are pre diabetic ...or type 2.... I think...
