[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1280676, member: 17713"] Hi May I ask though what the GP or nurse has done to confirm T1 or T2. As you say you put weight on I would guess at T2, but just wondering whether they did any further blood tests to confirm your type? Testing before and after meals is important and without this limitting to 1 test per day is useless. Addenbrookes has very knowledgeable and caring dietitians/nurses and consultants for diabetes and obesity. Very glad to hear that both you and your wife have lost so much. A huge round of applause to you both for your achievements. Cambridge & Peterborough CCG which Addenbrookes comes under is hugely in deficit and huge debts. They have already warned of cuts to GP money and services. Currently Addenbrookes have improved from being in special measures so its good to hear you have benefitted from their care. Unfortunately when I was there recently I saw very many amputatees and leg problem patients and a lot of patients on mobility scooters/wheelchairs. This may well be from lack of meters at GPs and patients not testing etc.. [/QUOTE]
