Hi Rachel, welcome to the forum and remember there is no such thing as a silly question and someone her will know the answers, probably not me though... That said if you know things that others don't, that's good too! 🙂

Hi Rachel and welcome from me too.
Have you been diabetic long or are you newly diagnosed.
Would you like to share more information about your diabetes with us... eg. Are you on medication and if so, what? What was your most recent HbA1c reading? This is the reading from a blood sample sent to the lab which is used to diagnose you as diabetic. Knowing tjis reading gives us an idea of where on the diabetic scale you are and may influence the advice you are given.... ie if you have a huge reading, you probably need to take a more radical approach to your management regime than if you are just over the diabetic threshold of 48.
We are here to help you in any way we can and I hope you find this wonderful forum as beneficial as I have since my diagnosis 7 months ago. It really has been invaluable to me.
