It's taken me a while to believe I belong on this forum. I'm 73, active, teetotal, non-smoker, never been overweight, diagnosed with impaired glucose intolerance (score 42) last year and Type 2 (score 48) this April. I used to get what I now think were little hypos but generally I feel very well and cheerful. I'm overwhelmed chiefly by the kindness and understanding shown by everyone, but also by the the fact that some of you have been very ill with other complications for a long time. Also mentioned are multiple drugs with huge names I've never heard of. I take statins for cholesterol and aspirin for atrial fibrillation and I think that's a bit OTT.
So I'm in denial I suppose, and want to apologise for feeling so fit, but I'd like get stuck in. I got a load of printouts from the surgery today with (I hope ) all those figures you like to see. Where shall I start?
(I'm posting in Type 2 because I get confused reading about Type 1 without realising it in general threads. Sorry.)
