Newbies

Whenever I have joined a forum before on any subject I have been told I am in the wrong place. So I formally apologise now.

I will also say hello as I joined the forum today. I was newly diagnosed diabetic on Christmas eve. I have been coming ill for quite a while and took it to be my Thyroids which are also on the blink.

The doctor has put me on Metform 500g and told me to keep a food diary for two weeks then see the diabetic nurse.

A friend of mine has given me a monitoring machine (Optium Xcced) and I have played with the thing three times a day. But I only get a "Hi" result not once have I had a reading.

I am feeling pretty ****, no energy, drinking like a fish and have flashes before my eyes. Oh an wobbly weak feet even though I am exercising.

I want to know should I worry or just wait until I see the dietian?

Thank you.
