Hi Claire and welcome.
Would you like to tell us a bit about your diabetes? Things like....
When you were diagnosed and were you symptomatic or was it spotted through a routine blood test?
What, if any, medication you have been given for it?
Do you know your HbA1c result? This is the blood test result used to diagnose diabetes?
Do you have much/any weight to lose?
How active are you?
Any other info about yourself which might help us get a better picture of your situation.
I am assuming you have come to the forum to seek knowledge and support.... I know I did and it has been a massive benefit to me in that respect. I hope we can do the same for you. Please ask whatever questions you need to. We all know how overwhelming it is in the beginning and a lot of stuff my nurse told me went in one ear and out the other because I was in shock, so the forum is great for helping to fill in the blanks or translate and reprocess that info into practical experience. Please make yourself at home and look forward to hearing more from you.

Hello @ClaireK
Welcome to the forum! I’ve merged your threads to keep all your welcome messages in the same place for ease of reference 🙂
Are you new to diabetes, or have you been living with it for a while?
How do you manage your blood glucose, do you take amy medication, and are you on meds for anything else?
How have things been going?
