Newly Diagnosed
Newly diagnosed (T2D) and have to wait a long time to see a nurse. Anyone else had this and tips I'm not doing already?

[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2615339, member: 521715"] You're going to do just fine [USER=574289]@WaveyDavey123[/USER] . I've seen your other posts and you have the attitude, and learning ability to together this licked. Just remember it's been years in the building and won't be resolved over night. Indeed it will be a lifelong control/ adaptations rather than a short term fix. (Assuming t2) also, as much as exercise can help there's a saying that you can't out run a bad diet, it catches up in the end, but few of us realised what has been touted as "healthy" diet for years is in fact proving not to be so for those of us with diabetic tendencies or insulin resistance. As to your specific questions - I've never seen a medic of any sort. Was diagnosed in lock down and under control by time restrictions lifted so they won't classify me as I didn't have 2 tests over the limit. But my meter and my reactions to carbs tells me daily that I am. Each year I ask for and receive hba1c tests, but always have to chase for them and cope with many cancellations by them. Overall the % population with t2 is rising so dramatically (think its nearly or very soon 50% in US) that NHS just doesn't have resources or interest. It's easiest (cheapest) for them to delay, prescribed a cheap drug and give in to belief its progressive... ie push all it all off to the future. I'm not unhappy being ignored by system, I'm a much better manager of my own health than any HCP. With a long wait for your next appointment you might decide ide to just make small changes so you get that high second tests and are formally diagnosed to get into the system. As to food, cutting down is good, but don't get hungry. Eat sufficient protein and good fats (those from animals and dairy) to keep satisfied. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
