During a routine exam by my general practioner. I was told I had type 2 Diabetes. Just like that! I was given a kit to check my blood with and sent home. I was told nothing about what I was looking for when I test or even diet. It was rather scary.
I went home and got right on the internet and educated myself. I thought about those with no computer skills or acess. How about those who were just not educated enough to know that there was more to diabetes than testing the blood.
I realised I needed to educate my physician in working with diabetic patients. And I did!!!
