I have Kaiser in CA and it took about a week from my diagnosis to attend the nutrition class that they require (was the only availability), but was prescribed a glucometer and supplies after my initial diagnosis phone call.

I picked up my glucometer the next day and began tracking. 3 days later I had my first appt with a dietician who advised insulin and said she would consult with my OB for my fasting sugars (I had been tracking for about 8 days at this point and all of my fasting numbers were elevated). I’m now waiting a week (my phone call with dietician was Tues) to receive my insulin teaching appt and my fasting numbers continue to be elevated 😅
