Hi all, live in Sunbury, Australia (NW Melbourne) and I'm 50yo and a few months, just diagnosed Type 2 within the last week. Been doing lots of reading and have appointments to see all the usual suspects (various allied health professionals) but have to wait for some of them. I'm a bit bewildered atm, have a family history this shouldn't be a big surprise to me (father, mother, one sister) but I'm kind of on my own with reading and so on for now. Think I need to just get my own monitor and begin keeping track of numbers and so on, I just don't want to wait 2 weeks for nutritionist and 6 weeks for diabetes nurse. Advice and help appreciated, thanks ..... I've a GOOD GP, no worries there, but I can't be calling him every day lol ....
