Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="catherinecherub" data-source="post: 47968">Hi poppyowner,The nurses you saw this morning seem about as useful as a chocolate teapot.Have a good look around the forum and you will see that a lot of the questions you are asking have been answered.  You do need a blood sugar testing kit, how else are you going to know what is happening when you eat?  Some surgeries will supply them, some wont.  The meters themselves are not dear but the test strips are.  There are posts on the forum where people have posted about cheaper options for the test strips.Personally I would keep all the appointments scheduled for you, you never know you might get some better advice than you have so far.  It is trial and error about foods, some people can eat things that others can't.  I am not a low carber myself but someone will reply with your query about books you need.Above all don't panic.  It is all new and confusing and we all felt like you to begin with.  It won't be long before you get to grips with it and this forum has a wealth of information from people who have been there.Regards, Catherine.</blockquote>
