Hi there I'm new to the forum but had t2 diabetes for about 6 years. I'm trying to search for recipes etc but I'm not sure where I should be looking! I've lost some weight, given up smoking, changed lager for gin (and greatly reduced the quantity) but when I test my blood its 13.5 to 10 most of the time! Occasionally a bit more or a bit less. I was never given a tester by my diabetic nurse, she said I would worry about it too much. I'm quite anxious a lot. However, I'm nearly 51 I don't want to be ill, my youngest child has just left home, its just me and my partner of 5 years and I want to live, be well and not be constantly tired!! Oh and don't really know when I should be testing. Or eating. Or fasting. xx
