[QUOTE="hotblack desiato, post: 431247, member: 84962"] i have been diagnosed with type 2 , to be honest it is a wake up call for me , I went to the doc for a test , my sugar was 14 , next morning after fasting a full set of bloods were taken , results were a shock , sugar still 14 , cholesterol was only 4.5, blood pressure spot on despite age and weight ? , anyway , put on two metformin a day and started dieting and exercise , was then sent to the practice nurse , I expected a blood monitor and a q and a session , but all I got was a urine sample tube to return with in six months and a bunch of pamphlets . been speaking to friends who have the same condition , they were referred to a dietician , returned for more tests after six weeks and were issued a blood sugar monitor , so what is the normal procedure and where do I go from here ??
