[QUOTE="irnbru, post: 29902, member: 12186"] Hi everyone, my first post, i was diagnosed type 2 around a year ago, i truely didnt want to face the fact that i had a chronich illness, i had a quick look on here back then but never returned until today. i have seen a nurse 3 times, 3 seperate nurses, all told me different things, really confused about how i eat what to eat when to eat, what my sugar levels should be, what they shouldnt be and so on, should i go on medication, should i buy a blood sugar monitor About 7 or 8 years ago i sort of fainted, i ended up in hospital as the heart monitors were showing something was not right, didnt have a heart attack, was in hospital for 5 days, then had 9 months of tests that showed i was over weight and left side of my heart was enlarged. to cut a long story short after fainting i began having panic attacks when i was out, so year by year i begun not going out much, this has got worse over the years, so makes going out hard, really difficult when im anxious, hense i put on weight which has led to the Diabetes, now i stopped drinking way back then as booze relaxes you so i thought im not going down that route in life. I recently moved and new doc gave me that fasting blood test which showed my sugar level at 7.5 whatever that means, also my cholestral has gone down a little, but i really need advice on how to deal with this, what i should be doing, i am around 4 stone over weight but my diet isnt that bad most of the time. I get an unwell feeling a lot, sometimes i can barely get out of bed in the mornings i feel so tired, my mood can swing in an minutes, this is worse in the afternoons if i havent eaten for a while i aslo get speedy like symptoms if i dont eat for a bit and a little confused sometimes, having this is really starting to get me down especialy when i look at my daughter who is 3 and think i may not seee her grown up, any advice you guys can offer would be appriciated so much right now.
