[QUOTE="chocoholicnomore, post: 220777, member: 37812"] I sympathise with you. I was diagnosed on Friday and told to attend diabetic clinic on Tuesday (yesterday). I was put on metformin and something for high cholesterol and told to watch my diet. I have been referred for dietician and an education programme but in meantime don't really know what to do. I was refused a testing monitor as I am not injecting insulin. However, I ordered one from the internet last night as I feel I will have no way of knowing if I am doing it right unless I have a monitor. I joined this forum this morning and got really good advice from daisy so I expect she will give you good advice and information. This website is really helpful and I am hooked. There is loads of information on it and help at hand. Also, able to ask questions that forgot or was too embarassed to ask at clinic. From what I have learned so far, pasta is OK as long as its wholemeal. I am lucky as my father is on insulin and he has been a great help to me. I just wish I had listened to him sooner. I am sure you will get lots of replies and you don't need to feel alone. I think you can ask anything on this site and everyone seems to give good honest answers. [/QUOTE]
