Hi Everyone, I have recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after going for a NHS health check. Still my head around all the information given to me. Louise
 
That's how I started off. It is a shock and you are not alone. It takes time to sort yourself out. But you will get sorted by using the forums and advice on these pages. They are a helpful and friendly bunch and no question too silly. You need to understand where your'e at in terms of your Hbac1 readings from your doctors. If you are happy to record them here someone will respond to them and be able to help and support you...take care.
 
Welcome to the forum @Loupuz.

There is a lot to learn in the beginning, but it's good that you have found us. Try and not overwhelm yourself, everything will make sense eventually.

What kind of advice were you given by your health team? Did they prescribe you any medication or recommend lifestyle changes?

Please feel free to ask any questions on the forum, people here are willing to help. 🙂
 
Welcome to the forum @Loupuz

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

Ask away with any questions you have (nothing will be regarded as too obvious or ‘silly’) - or just feel free to rant and moan, or let off steam. We ‘get it’ here.

How have things been going over the last few weeks?
