[QUOTE="swsok1, post: 108829, member: 23531"] Hi folks I am a 55 years old male recently diagnosed with Type 2. A series of 3 fasting tests over past 3 months have shown levels at 7.1 - 7.3. My GP has stated that diet and exercise are my immediate priorities - no need for medication. I've had one depressing session with the practice nurse and been told that a session with a dietician will take up to 18 weeks. Eye sight test next week. Very anxious about next steps - always though that I had a healthy diet and now trying to get thought around greater controls. I travel a lot with work and wondering about complications with diet and exercise. Can I still drink - wine/beer/spirits ? Not an alcoholic :wink: :wink: but do like a social drink. Do I need to do blood tests ? The GP hasn't recommended this, but will do quarterly tests. Lots of questions ........... [/QUOTE]
