I have now had it confirmed that I have type 2 diabetes which does not require medication. I have been advised that it can be managed through diet and exercise. This is good news as I wasn't sure what the final round of blood tests would show but find that I am strugglingh with the lack of control I have over monitoring my blood sugar levels.
The nurse who runs the diabetes clinic at my surgery has advised that I will need to go back in 3mths for monitoring but in the meantime I have no idea what my levels are. I was told that having it checked every 3mths by her was enough but I really feel like I have no control and have no way of knowing if any of the changes I am trying to make to my diet are having any impact or how my levels are affected by what I eat.
Would really appreciate any advice regarding this, thanks.
