Have you had a fasting test done? I got confirmation of the state of my kidneys.

Yep had the two hour one it was 143 before I had the drink. I am in America at the moment so I don't know if they do things differently here. They tested my feet the other day and I felt ever touch which she said was good just worried

Hi Jordansmum
If it is any use to you I found "The First Year Type 2 Diabetes" by Gretchen Becker to be very useful.
Cheers

Don't panic (easier said then done) absorb as much info from here as you can. Don't be scared to ask any questions (no matter how trivial you think they are). We're all the same journey just at different points of the walk!!!.

I've got the book referenced above but not started it yet!!, I've been distracted re-reading game of thrones!!!
