[QUOTE="Lyndsay444, post: 1709391, member: 461727"] Hi I was shocked that your BS results were so much lower compared to mine Mine are always in 20s and have even been over 33.3 mmol. That’s max the glucose meter is able to read. Anyhow from being diagnosed to seeing nurse I waited 2 weeks, then prescribed meds to try bring bs down. It’s one of those things we all want things to be normalised quickly following diagnosis but it’s not that simple. Even starting meds it has to be very slowly increased over weeks and weeks. You’ll be referred to have foot and eye testing as well and sent on a Desmond diabetes information course. Look at it that your life style and the way you view food and health must change so you benefit in the future and not that a couple of tablets will sort it out and that’s it. Just test your bs as above the more reading the better ready to discuss with diabetic nurse when you see them. Every thing with diabetes is manageable remember that. [/QUOTE]
