[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2287615, member: 480869"] Welcome. You’ve been given great advice above to get you started. Yes it’s about carbs and a meter is almost essential to help you learn and see what’s happening. Would you drive a car without a speedo and just wait for a ticket or not? Sadly unless you were one of the lucky few you wouldn’t have got anything much at your next (cancelled) appointment. Most still get vague lose weight, be active, take these meds advice. Some get even worse and told to eat regular carbs and even more meds. Very few get given testing advice or equipment as the nhs doesn’t understand how useful that is for type 2 controlling levels by diet and cost cut (Short term thinking there!) by not issuing these tools. Stick with us and do the reading and you’ll quickly have many of your issues under control; not just diabetes but weight and blood pressure may well improve too. More energy might allow more exercise and the virtuous circle begins. By the time your dr does see you again you could well have it all under control. [/QUOTE]
