Hi all,
this is my story. My dad has had diabetes for many years now since he was 40ish. He was type 2 more recently he's now type 1.
For the last year or so i have been feeling tired and i mean tired, going to bed 8.30pm every night, waking up at 6.30am feeling exhausted and yawning all day. Finally went to docs who rattled off loads of blood tests. The dreaded call then came...... you have diabetes!!!!! My hba1c reading was 71. i started on metformin 500 in morning and have managed to lose 11 lbs ( i was prob 2 stone overweight but am fairly active). I'm being described by the hospital doctor as an 'odd' case due to getting this so young. I'm now on metformin 500 morning and night and my blood readings are between 4.8 and 8.5 generally. I'm just wondering is anyone else in a similar position? just recently i've started worrying about pancreatic cancer
any help appreciated
thanks
