[QUOTE="Nick.., post: 886594, member: 192064"] Morning All, For the last couple of weeks I've been incredibly thirsty and I'm also very overweight, have been for years, so I've always thought Type 2 Diabetes would be an inevitability if I couldn't get my weight under control. Well the first reading I took yesterday was 24 mmo/l which, I think, is extremely high. So straight away I spoke to a family member and will be going to see my GP tomorrow. I have another go this morning straight after waking up and I'm struggling to get used to getting blood and using the machine, but my readings were 2.3 (!!), 24 and then 17 I guess I'm just getting used to testing myself, but I assume those results can't be right? I think I probably got most blood onto the strip for the 17 result, which first thing in the morning isn't good is it!? Anyway, I guess this is a bit of an introduction more than anything, but these numbers have obviously got me quite rattled and stressed and I just wanted to join this forum and begin talking about diabetes.
