[QUOTE="orchid5, post: 830057, member: 160595"] Hi Poppy and wrlcome to the forum. Firstly it saddens me to see someone treated in this manner and it isn't surprising to see why there are so many people who have diabetes gone unchecked if your visit to the GP is anything to go by. I would definitely complain to the senior partner of your practice as they need to know about the shoddy patient treatment one of them is giving! This forum is full of advice more than you would get elsewhere, I too am recently diagnosed my B S was 24 2 so saw my GP straight away and started on Metformin. I follow the low carb and have approx 100 Carbs a day, however what suits one person may not suit another so will be trial and error. I can't emphasise the importance of testing bs as that is the only way of knowing what is happening and I feel a small price to pay for my health My sugars are now between 6.1/7 and that is in 8 weeks since being diagnosed so don't worry it will get better. Good luck and keep us up-todate. [/QUOTE]
