[QUOTE="Route 66, post: 2120498, member: 507504"] Welcome to the Club. If you take sugar in your tea or coffee, I would stop that straight away and also cut out on chocolate, cakes and pastries etc. Also look towards reducing carbs such as potatoes, rice and bread. There are loads of people on here who can give great advice on what you can and can't eat. That will give you a good start in reducing your numbers. You have had some great advice already and I can only second it - Great idea to get a meter and test regularly and don't forget to tell your vehicle insurers about your medical condition otherwise it will be invalid. I started with a reading of 108 and the Diabetic Nurse saw me the following week after diagnosis, then every two weeks for two months and then monthly. (First 3 Months). [I] I think it varies depending where you live,[/I] Good luck on the start of your journey. [/QUOTE]
