[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1307870, member: 295621"] Yes this forum is a great place, full of committed members who are always available to help, whatever way they can. Ideally it would be great if your GP could give you all the information you need, but whether they have the time and/or training to do so is another question. I also don’t know whether type 2 diabetics are referred to specialists within the health service? Were you at least given flyers or booklets that contained basic information of how to best manage your condition? What would help a lot, would be a referral to a forum such as this one. It would heavily benefit Internet savvy diabetics – and lighten the load of the NHS. Any advice you need though, you'll more than likely find the answer here:) Although, it is recommended to seek any medical advice from a Dr or Nurse. I don't know if she has already posted, but [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] has some gold generic advice for those new to the whole diabetes thing:) [/QUOTE]
