[QUOTE="doolallylady, post: 1072758, member: 256872"] Only diagnosed the week before Xmas and saw the Diabetic Nurse early January. Before I saw her I had found this wonderful place, full of the type of 'experts' I like, ie the ones who know what they are talking about because they live it everyday. She is a lovely nurse, very reassuring and gave me lots of advice about low fat, no sugar, 5 portions of certain carbs a day etc. I told her that I had joined Diabetes UK :angelic:. She was impressed and said it was a great site, full of good advice, (it was only later in the conversation I realised I had missed out the .co :oops:). I told her that I had ordered some books and a tester, she told me that type 2's shouldn't test as there was no need and would get worried with some of the readings and no way would the surgery provide anything. I asked when I would next get tested by the surgery and she told me a year after the diagnosis!!! I'm getting the hang of testing and finding out more and more each day, mainly thanks to you here :) [/QUOTE]
