[QUOTE="rilakkuma02, post: 2306213, member: 347717"] Hi, everyone, I Just met my GP yesterday to confirm I have Type 2 Diabetes. It has been up and down for last 2 weeks. Knowing my blood sugar was high few years ago, it was not surprised about the news. Now, no time to think the past but action to take for future. After seeing my GP, I had a few questions in my mind (not enough thinking, time to ask details in person) So please share some your opinions or suggestions. Thank you. My blood sugar lever is 60 mmol/L and I asked if I needed to monitor my own blood sugar level and my GP said no. I will be also on 3 months Metformin 500mg(once a day/evening) before they review my condition and medications. After seeing my GP, I searched in the forum people talked about they still have a BG meter to measure everyday. Without knowing the reason and methods how often to measure I am confused what to do. On the other hand, I am bit concerning the BG test every day, stress level can go up and I could not sleep well (past experience) to hope next morning my blood sugar going to spike. Any suggestions for managing the stress? Additionally, my GP referred me to Diabetes education courses. Does anyone heard anything if this still running and how they manage the course during the pandemic? Thank you [/QUOTE]
