Hi. My name is Gemma. 36 years old and I was told yesterday that I am type 2 diabetic. I have an appointment with a diabetes nurse in a couple of weeks, but I do have a few of questions.
1) does the NHS provide the blood sugar level monitor things, or do we have to buy them?
2) does this mean that I'm now entitled to free medication?
3) will I need more regular eye tests?
4) will I need to inform the DVLA? (I wasn't prescribed any medication, and am learning to drive).
