Hi Alison, your experience is similar to mine in there is limited support. I have had my 2nd HBA1C and my levels are coming down but that is thanks to me and this forum. I don't test and for a while thought I would have to purchase my own meter and strips but never actually got round to it. However, I feel much more relaxed now I can see the results of losing weight.
 
Thanks for the welcome Andy and all of you. Have to say I'm really shaky this morning I'm off for a blood test in a bit so will interrogate the nurse lol I have been told that in my area (Northampton) they run a course called Desmond I think I will see if I can get on to it.

Hi Alsison I have been on DESMOND and found it benificial. And just being on the course with other people like yourself is good.. Hope you appointment went well today. I have got my 3 month review tomorrow😱
