[QUOTE="Jasperleah, post: 2421191, member: 546068"] Hello As I’m sure there are loads of new people who are newly diagnosed and equally as confused and scared as me. I got newly diagnosed last Tuesday with a brief phone call from a doctor at my surgery who I’ve never spoken to before as I never need to see a doctor. My blood was taken from a nurse who did my smear test as she checked my blood pressure and picked up I had pregnancy diabetes 8 years ago and have never had a follow up check as I’ve never been told or asked too. So anyway this doctor rang to tell me I’m diabetic and that I should take metformin 3x daily. This was the only thing she said to me, I was stunned and on the school run so I said all I have to do is take this tablet 3x a day and she said yes and she said do I have sugar in my diet? I said yes, she said swop it for sweetener and goodbye.. when I picked up the metformin it said on the box twice daily ♀️ I’m so over welmed and sad I would like to check my blood sugar levels myself to see what I am working with, so I guess I shall just go ahead and purchase one. I obviously know I need to eat healthier and get moving so I look forward to reading through all these handy post for tips and tricks. If anyone’s still reading, thank you I just needed to get it off my chest as it seems like this life changing diagnoses was given to me like I was being told I had nothing wrong and just take this [/QUOTE]
