[QUOTE="Marjack, post: 995067, member: 221571"] Hello Amandapir, I too have been recently diagnosed as type 2 after 10 months of being pre-diabetic. It's such a shame that there seems to be a wide variety of people's experiences when first diagnosed. I have been lucky as my surgery gave me a double appointment with the diabetic nurse. She spent lots of time explaining things and the next steps. I was started on metformin, I'm going for my retinal screening at the beginning of December and go back for more blood tests in February. I must admit that I did do a lot of research into diabetes, especially on this forum, and the nurse was impressed with the level of understanding that I had. As you will find out from other people's experiences there seems to be a lot of people who experience the same as you and some have been lucky like me. All I can say is keep speaking to your doctor about your concerns, but there is also a wealth of experience on this forum, all you need to do is ask. Good luck with your treatment. [/QUOTE]
