[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 775085, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, I couldn't agree more with the others about the insensitive and unprofessional way you were dealt with initially, but thankfully you now have a lovely nurse. Stick with this forum for advice and support, you will find motivation in bucketsful on here. Well done on the weight loss, that's a great start. I will tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who will give you some advice for newly diagnosed. Please consider getting your own meter. Most of us type 2's have to buy our own as the NHS is very reluctant to prescribe testing strips. You will find this is an essential tool in controlling your BS levels and will help you find a good sustainable diet that suits you. (we will help you with this). Diet and a little added exercise are the key to control. Don't worry about lack of meds. Metformin is mainly an appetite suppressant, and helps to a limited extent with insulin resistance, but isn't a miracle cure and won't work on its own. Diet is what works. Have a good read round and ask all the questions you like. [/QUOTE]
