[QUOTE="Taueret, post: 1858631, member: 307866"] Hi All - apologies for long post. I’m new to all this. Thanks for that useful info Daisy1. I’m newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I anticipated the diagnosis when I was called into my gp for a repeat blood test so started reading up on the subject and trying to get control of my diet. Went in for my first diabetes appointment with the practice nurse this morning. She gave me loads of info, including how to enrol on the expert patient course, diet etc.,made an appointment for retina photography and another for a foot care check. The surgery seems really supportive. The good news was that I’ve lost half a stone, so I must carry on what I’m doing. I’ve roped my husband in for moral support and for his job is to remind me to go for my daily walk. We tested out a half hour walk and that’s my target for the first month. Looking forward to meeting folk on here and to learning more about diabetes. Lesley [/QUOTE]
