Hi guys,
I am new to this but here we go. Nice to meet you all by the way!
I was told by my GP yesterday that i am technically a type 2 diabetic but will need to go for another blood test next week to confirm. My father is insulin dependent and has been for years. I am overweight and literally do no exercise. After yesterday, my life is changing. I've signed up to a body transformation centre to work out 5 days per week and will get nutritional advice and recipes from them.
The thing i really dont understand is WHAT do i do now? It is only a matter of weeks before i actually get officially diagnosed, so why not plan ahead?
Are there local groups or some ways to meet people in my area who are in a similar situation or is it mainly online support?
Thanks again guys!
