Hi. Welcome. Sounds like your GP wasnt at all helpful. We're a supportive bunch here, so you won't get a brow beating etc from us, we know we can and do fall off the wagon at times and sometimes we need a bit of help getting back on.
Can you tell us where your having problems

Do let us know how you get on.
 
Hi @Mommybarnes, welcome to the forum. Do have a look at the links Ljc posted above as they are very helpful, and have lots of good suggestions. Main thing is to reduce starchy carbs like bread, potatoes, pasta and rice. It helps to lose weight and do some exercise if possible. It's good that you have a friend at work, cos it's so nice to be able to support one another - which is one of the best things about this place! Tell us a bit more, or ask any questions, and we'll try and help. Have you ever been given a meter?

That's a good start but without testing you won't see the difference - and it's encouraging to see the numbers actually coming down, which should make things easier to cope with 🙂
 
Hello and welcome to the forum. 🙂
