Diagnosed with type2 after blood test, saw the doctor who put me on metformin and gave me a booklet to read & thats it. Don't know how high my sugars are or anything. How long does it take to see a nurse & should i have a test kit bearing in mind it's nearly Xmas what should i do.
 
Firstly welcome to the diabetes forum. You have found the right place to start from and no doubt Daisy will be posting to you the initial welcoming posting that should explain in simple terms what the various 'shades' of diabetes are, how to best control diabetes, together with some excellent general advice on what are Blood/Glucose (Blood Sugar Llevels) Being new to this diabetic thing can initially be very frightning, so don't panic, but instead take things steadily and learn a little bit more about diabetes and how to control it in stages.
You can learn a lot from simply reading what you feel are the relevant Posting on this site and if there is anything that you don't understand then please ask, no matter how simple or complex the question may seem.
 
Hi Iorac :)

I have posted an answer on your other thread with the information we give to new members. Have a good read of it as I think you will find it useful.
