hi to all

[lewis]

hi i have just been told today i have type 2 , I'm not totally shocked as i have been having an annual glucose tolerance test for the last 4 years and my GP told me i had a good chance of developing diabetes , so i thought it would be a good thing to join a support group straight away and start obtaining some advise

Hi there and welcome to the forum Lewis , i hope you find the time to have a good browse around and ask anything anytime , are you on diet/exercise only?It came to a shock to many of us but with the right help and support you can control things.

Hi Lewis - Welcome to the forum!

I was diagnosed with Type 2 over nine years ago and I'm doing just fine.

You'll learn a lot from using these diabetes forums.

Any questions then just ask.

Good luck and best wishes - John
