Hi Steve711, welcome to the forum.
You're absolutely right, getting the correct info is tricky given that different parts of the world use different systems and that's not always clear.
We have a wealth of info on the site so you're in the right place. Is there anything in particular you'd like help with?
Do have a look around and let us know if we can assist in anyway.

Thanks so much for the replies.
To be honest this has been a wake up call for me as i have abused my body for years working very long hours in my business and very bad eating habits. In the last few weeks i have completely started to change my lifestyle as eating much better and more exercise so will see if it helps.

Welcome to the forum @Steve711
Sounds like you are off to a great start!
Absolutely agree with you! Many people on the forum later reflect that their diagnosis became a sort of catalyst which prompted them to make positive changes towards a healthier and more active life. Perhaps changes that they had been intending to make for years.
Often you don’t realise how weary, worn down and lethargic you have been feeling. Erratic and elevated blood glucose levels can be exhausting and are linked with low mood, but this may have come on quite gradually. Making a few positive changes can give you more energy, a clearer mind, and a brighter outlook. Plus the regular checks you get after a diagnosis with diabetes mean that any potential problems may be spotted earlier, and can be sorted out sooner.
