[QUOTE="TeddyTottie, post: 2340108, member: 519030"] Sadly you will mostly find that, other than the bare minimum quarterly chat with a diabetes nurse and annual foot and eye checks, you are on your own as far as your GP practice is concerned. So do not wait for anything from them before getting to grips with what you need to do, you need to be proactive about this. However... all is well, because you have joined us here and will find that this place gives you everything you need if you are an uncomplicated T2. Hopefully you will find that your diabetes is extremely manageable with diet alone and you will be able to get your blood sugars down to non-diabetic levels very quickly. But this does require a complete revamp of your diet - you say you are careful, but you have to forget everything you thought you knew about healthy eating and accept that all carbs, not just sugar, are off the menu and probably gone for life. But on the other hand there is a whole world of wonderful, tasty and genuinely beneficial food out there awaiting your discovery. So take heart, you are not alone and the good people here will help you through as you learn how to manage your condition. [/QUOTE]
