HI
@Jackie.C and welcome to the fprums.
Can I ask what sort of regime you are following? Many of the T2s on here find great success by lowering the carbohydrate in their diets but the advice from GPs and diabetic nurses can be very variable. Also, do you know what your hba1c was on diagnosis? (This measures how high your blood sugar has been over the last 3 months and if it is 48 or more you get a diabetic diagnosis).
It's pretty quiet now as most of our UK members are asleep so I thought I'd give you a welcome from a T1 in New Zealand.
I'm sure some T2s will be along before too long to give you a welcome and some T2 specific advice.
