Hello Elaine,
Welcome to this helpful Forum. I've been a member since last November when I was diagnosed as Type 2 with an HbA1c of 15%.
Having done loads of research, mainly suggested by the Forum, and getting to understand some of the differing approaches to diabetes, I've made great improvements in my HbA1c (7% in March), although I know I still have a way to go.
It's been hard work and time consuming and I realise it'll be a constant challenge. I'm now feeling a bit clearer about it all and would like to become more active on the Forum and offer a bit of help to others when I think I've something useful to contribute.
I've lived in Ille-et-Vilaine (Brittany) for 15 years, so maybe I've some experience and/or knowledge that might be relevent to you?
Do let us know the current issues you've mentioned - whatever they are, I'm sure you can count on support here.
Looking forward to hearing more,
Jane.
