[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2012134, member: 94045"] I think I am going to like you! Welcome to the forum, and yes, you will be seeing a lot more of your doctor and his team (usually a diabetes nurse) and having regular blood tests for glucose, cholesterol, liver & kidney functions and anything else they throw in. Thank goodness you found this forum - if you don't find suitable advice on here, you are unlikely to find it anywhere. :) So .... what was your diagnostic HbA1c result, assuming you had one? You should have had one. Make sure you either ask for print outs of your test results or (if you are in England) your surgery should be putting them on line so you can ask how to register for that service. It is important you do this. Doctors rarely tell us the full story, and you need to know exactly what your blood results show. All of them. Now you can use your meter to tell you what your food choices are doing to your levels by testing immediately before you eat and again 2 hours after first bite - more than 2mmol/l and you ate too many carbs. Preferably a lot less than 2mmol/l. [/QUOTE]
