Hi Everyone,

I am new too!!! My story sounds similiar to the previous poster, in that I was recently diagnosed ( a couple weeks before Christmas) and they are still unsure as to whether I am type 1 or 2. I use to love sweet things and had been known to drink 2 litres on fizzy drinks in a day and not think anything of it. You can imagine how all of this was a complete SHOCK!!!! I am what they would term athletic looking, so would have never have dreamt of being diabetic.

All this takes getting use to, so the added support would be BRILLIANT!!

Thanks

NewDiabetic

That's *nothing*!

One of my cousins actually IS an athlete. Well she's not diabetic but it hasn't stopped her inheriting the familial insulin resistance. Feed her too many carbs and she can nod out just like the rest of us.
