Hi All,
I was diagnosed Type 2 two weeks ago. GP wasn't very good at explaining things - said very little in fact. But I think that's because he expected me to know already as used to be a nurse, but a long time ago. But i must admit I didn't ask anything either as couldn't get my head around it during consultation. So been relying on this website to fill in the details.
Been a depressive probably most of my life but only officially diagnosed twelve years ago. So finding this really hard to deal with. Also in the middle of changing my Psyc med's so that's not helping. Really confused on how my body's feeling physically, can't decide if it's my depression and change in med's or the Diabetes and Metformin I've been put on. Or menopause as its that time of life, or the sleep Apnoea my GP is now convinced I have as I spend most of my life feeling exhausted and therefore sleeping. So gone against my GP's advise (re-not testing) and I'm testing blood sugars to try and figure it out.
If anyone has any advise I'd appreciate it, feeling very isolated this end.
