[QUOTE="Lynnbro, post: 367237, member: 65918"] Just diagnosed with type 2 last week BS level on test was 28( subsequent HbA1c was 94) and I have been very unhappy with the support I've had to date. doctor and nurses were shocked at how high I was and I left the surgery in panic mode being told not to eat anything sugary at all! Cholesterol test following day and then sent home with appointment for 2 weeks later! After complaining I saw the diabetic nurse at my practise, was given Metrormin and was just told to eat healthily! I am confused, annoyed and completely unsure as to how to manage. After a further appointment today where she didn't even check my sugar levels! How am i supposed to get to grip with diabetes when i have no mechanism for checking my sugar! Is this what most people get or have I just drawn the short straw. I have asked to see a dietician and been told no. [/QUOTE]
