[QUOTE="jane.owen37, post: 61550, member: 14433"] Thanks for your reply Sue. My GP nor my DN has even mentioned me testing my own BG. I am just being tested every 6 weeks by my GP. I think I've seen reasonably priced monitors in my local Lloyds chemist so I might invest in 1 myself and then I'll be able to work out a diet of my own (I hope!!). I just feel that I was diagnosed, handed a few leaflets and left to get on with it - my only other contact with my DN was to get the flu jab and I asked then how often I should see her and was told every 6 months!! Nobody seems concerned about the weight I'm finding it really hard to lose! About 5 months before being diagnosed I was (mostly) on a wheat-free diet and was losing weight and then I was told by the dietician to eat the foods I'd been cutting out and guess what yep the weight didn't come off anymore!! I guess it's up to me now then! It will be hard with a family to feed aswell but this is my life and if I want to keep it (and all my body parts) it's time for me to get off my **** and do something about it! Maybe posting here today was the jolt I needed, I've been on one diet or another since I was 14 so I no I can do it if I put my mind to it. Thanks for your help. Jannie x [/QUOTE]
