Hi
I am new to the forum despite being diabetic for 6 years.
Like many people on the forum I have experienced misinformation, lack of information and prejudice. I am a type 2 who is not over weight just sort of average ?! I lost weight prior to diagnosis as a result of the diabetes and have remained stable weight wise ever since.
After 5 years I was put on insulin. To be honest I fell better on insulin the tablets ran me down in the end. I cannot explain why I feel better use that I do. I finally got on a carb counting / diabetes education course earlier this year. To be honest it would have been better to have had such a course when first diagnoses ?! Still I am working through managing insulin.
I am not very disciplined about this whole business but try and keep within recommended sugar levels. Sometimes this is easy other days it just seems like m body does not want to play ball !
Anyway am looking forward to hearing all your views, experiences and advice .
