[QUOTE="sue.cassie, post: 369896, member: 64576"] I have just had my first visit with at d. Clinic apart from being weighed and having my feet looked at nothing I was told all the negatives ie kidneys eyes amputation etc then told to control it with diet. I said I had started low carb diet the nurse said good I asked about testing and she said health authority do not supply testers unless you are on insulin, she doesn't want me testing either, she did say she would put me on a course I presume it is Desmond or similer but she also said it could be as long as 3-4months before I would get in. She said she would also arrange for an eye test I pointed out I already have an eye appointment for may, she said she hadn't remembered asking for it. What do I do now I have ordered a meter from website but don't know if I should test how will I know if diet is controlling diabetes or not feel worse now than at my visit 4 weeks ago when she first said I had diabetes She has made me an appointment for 2 weeks may consider giving me meds but she needs to speak to gp first by he why he did ask if she gave me details if the diabetes uk website, I said in I found it for myself,sorry rant is so long but really don't know what to do next.
