[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1688133, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, Yes, it is a lot to take in in such a short time. Slow down, take some deep breaths, have a cup of tea and relax. You have plenty of time. No need to rush. Read round the forums, learn as much as you can about how your pancreas and liver work, learn about the diabetes pills you are taking - how they work, what they do, what they don't do. Then ask us any questions you like. First job is to ask for a print out of your blood test results. These are important for lots of reasons. (If you are in England your surgery should be putting them on-line, so ask how to register for this). Second job - buy yourself a blood glucose meter (or has your GP given you one?) Without one you are working blind. [/QUOTE]
