[QUOTE="Marjack, post: 1441796, member: 221571"] I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic in March 2015 and didn't really take it too seriously, maybe a little bit of denial. Then in November 2015 I got the diagnosis of diabetic, this was a shock like it is to many others. I have always been active, had an active job, not had many symptoms. The only diabetes in my family was my maternal grandmother who was diagnosed in her sixties. I was put straight on metformin as I had just been diagnosed with angina, so that it would help to protect my heart, rather than try diet alone. I now have adjusted to the diabetic way of life, with a few slip ups. It takes time to adjust, as it does with any life style change. One of my wife's friends husband was recently diagnosed as diabetic and went into depression. I am here to help him and if he needs to talk I listen and talk about my experience. You may find a friend or someone you know who is diabetic that you can talk too, after all night-one knows how a diabetic feels, like another diabetic. Hope you manage to beat it and you get your levels down [/QUOTE]
