[QUOTE="New Haven Neil, post: 2089893, member: 510164"] I'm new to this, T2 diagnosed 3 weeks ago so I am still in the confused and waiting for medical information stage, however I do have a work colleague (my assistant really) who has been really, really helpful, as is this thread! I am testing (that lovely colleague gave me a meter she no longer uses) 3 or 4 times a day to get a handle on it all, (HBA1C was 6.8%) and have seen BG from 4.2 to 12 - trying to isolate the foods that cause the spikes now, but am really confused and annoyed at the conflicting information. Not had my DESMOND yet, I forsee disagreement looking at previous comments, my GP seemed a bit 'You're T2 so what, get on with it' and the DN was sort of....helpful but rather 'oh another overweight bloke with T2' (14st 5'10'). We'll see how things develop, I'm hopeful we can have a better relationship than the first appointment felt. Doesn't feel too good does it, at first! [/QUOTE]
