I was told they would make an appointment with diabetic nurse but that could take a while. im getting a blood sugar monitor form my niece as she is type 1 to monitor myself until I see the nurse.im on a lot of meds and they have caused me to put on weight from 10.5 stone to now nearly 17 stone but I need the meds so im at a bit of a loss on what I need to /should do and expectthanks</blockquote>
