[QUOTE="Dannii, post: 21508, member: 10847"] Heya yea i know thats what i asked my doc what if my symptons get worse and he said to come straight back in. No i wasnt tested for keytones - i should of asked him to test me though will ask the diabetic nurse when i see her on friday. I bought my own BG monitor about a week before i was diagnosed thats when i had readings of +20mmol and made the appointment, but i asked him should i be testing my blood glucose levels and he said no so i didnt really question it - though im going to buy more of the internet and carrying on testing because otherwise how am i meant to know if my BG levels are getting better and under control?! and more damage could of been done by the next time i go for a test - like to my eyes i am well paranoid about damage to them and going blind and they said for me to have a routine eye test in october but that could be too long so im going to get an eye test my self this week. "but could and will hit with a vengence very soon." ahhh dont say that i dont want my diabetes to get worse & need injections :cry: Bascially all i have been given is a sheet with a chart of all the foods i should and shoudn't eat and an an appointment wit a diabetic nurse on fri and another appt. at the end of sept with the dietician. I still dont really understand why i would be a type 2 at my age but hopefully the nurse can answer more of my questions. thanks guys for your replies Dannii [/QUOTE]
