[QUOTE="Tigragirl, post: 2373333, member: 539389"] Hi Everyone Diagnosed last month with a HC whatsits reading of 58. Had my first meeting with the Surgery Diabetic Nurse last week for the foot, weigh, height and blood pressure check and had my Retinol Screening done on Friday. I’m a bit lost , the Nurse said nothing is off limits, reduce portion size when I was diagnosed and I went off checking the carbs and sugar in everything in the hope of reducing carbs. She told me last week there was no need to do finger pricking and that I was going to be left until Easter when I had to book in for another HC whatsit test and then, once the result was know, they would decide if I need to go on Metaformin. I feel lost. I don’t eat fruit or veg and trying to at least be good with fruit and prepared some grapefruit and oranges and took some to work. I really enjoyed it and was quite on form and someone laughed and said someone’s been on the sugar. They didn’t know I had just be diagnosed but it was like a lightbulb went on....I must have had too much sugar , they only thing I had had was the fruit and I was gutted because I really enjoyed it. Now I am scared to eat the little fruit I like, Apples, Oranges, Grapefruit and Pineapple. I read on here people finger prick through the day and have learned what gives them a sugar spike. I am seriously wondering if I should ignore the nurses advice and get a test kit just so I have somewhere to start. I know there is so much info on here but I just feel so Confused and lost [/QUOTE]
