I nearly fainted when I saw your blood sugar level then I realised we use a different measuring system over here.

I was late onset too but they put me straight on an insulin regime so I guess that they concluded that diet and exercise or diet and tablets would not work in my case.

I was devastated too when I was diagnosed back in 1999 but you do adjust and learn to control it and not let it control you.

I guess we are lucky over here that cost isn't an issue thanks to the NHS.
