[QUOTE="cruiksl, post: 1083096, member: 276512"] Evening, Looking for some advice. I went for blood tests at the end of January as I was exhausted. I thought it was my iron levels that were low. Doctor called me back for a fasting blood test. The first blood test gave me a reading of 9.9. The fasting blood test gave me a reading of 4.8. From this info, I was advised from a nurse appointment yesterday that I am type 2 diabetes but can be controlled by diet. I'm being referred to Desmond for more information but the nurse basically told me not to eat a lot of fruit in one sitting, lose weight, exercise more and I knew what I had to do ! She will see me back in a month. I asked about blood monitoring and was told not to do it. To be honest, feel like I've been sent away with no advice and really not sure what I should be eating. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you [/QUOTE]
