[QUOTE="sandymaynard, post: 67042, member: 15255"] Hi James I was diagnoised two weeks ago i think, I have type 2, my new gp pushed through blood tests. i must admit that there is a lack of advice from gp's and nurses about the condition! I am scared i must admit that I knew the warning signs, as my mum is a type 1 diabettic on insulin shots daily! She is 75 now! She became insulin dependant when she fell pregnant with me! I am now 33 years old! I must admit that if you listen to alot of gp's they will tell you to eat alot of carbs! I have noticed that taking carbs out of my diet except when i make a mistake then this has been helpful! I think it would help a alot of type 2's if they were to be given a monitor and have test strips on prescription! I am lucky there as my gp is helping me and giving me strips! As she knows that i want to take control of the condition! i know that i have not had the condition long! But i think that it is fair to say that if type 2 were given regular test strips then this would help! How else would we work out what food is good or bad for us! what foods to avoid or to use! yes there are routine blood tests that the doctor's do but this only gives a average! Does not give a clear view of what is happening day to day! I have other health conditions to take into play here! But one of the side effects already is that i am getting numbness in my right foot! My doctor says as far as she is aware this could be very mush a side effect of the diabetes! I am making a chart of my blood tests! do different times of day or when i feel high or low! I think alot of people would benefit from having a meter and sticks as then they would feel that they had some sort of control! [/QUOTE]
