[QUOTE="JayBee28, post: 2447421, member: 549078"] There is no such thing as a stupid question. I was diagnosed almost 4 weeks ago, and only had a phone call appointment with the diabetic nurse, I have a face 2 face appointment and check in a month. The nurse told me not to get a glucose meter, but I did and it’s been really useful. I have also cut out carbs (bread, pasta, rice etc) sugar, sweets, cakes etc. Be careful of low fat products and things like skimmed milk, they have more carbs than the full fat versions. I eat loads more protein and eggs, I feel so much better in myself. No more tiredness that was so bad previously, I have so much more energy and feel fuller. If I really fancy a snack, I have a few walnuts, almonds or pecans. I have also walked most days, so far lost 10 pounds, but have plenty more to go. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
