There should be no arguments on a thread started by a complete newbie asking questions. It must be very off putting and could result in them never coming back. De-railing is counter productive, confusing, and rude.
For the last few months, I've had conflicting blood test results but have finally had a T2D diagnosis confirmed and I have my first diabetic clinic tomorrow.
What should I expect? How is my life about to change? Is there anything I should now so differently?
Your life is going to change, or at least your eating habits are, but most of us Type 2s looked at our diagnosis as the kick up the bum we needed to get our lives back on track. I know I did and in a weird way I was very grateful for it..
First and foremost, find out what the test results were that led to your diagnosis - your HbA1c or whatever other tests you had as that is your starting point. Either obtain the test result print outs or see if your surgery puts them on-line.
Read right through the main website and follow all the links. Learn as much as you can about diabetes, what all the tests are, what the numbers mean, what numbers you need to be aiming for, which medications are generally prescribed, and what to expect next. Read Daisy's post when she arrives and take note of what it says. You will find it useful.
Good luck
