Hi, I'm new here but just wanted to share my story.
I'll keep it short, 10 years ago I was diagnosed with type 2, having had a thirst for a few days I decided to check it out and after 2 finger prick tests ( a week apart)
my doctor told me the bad news. I was put on Metformin amongst other meds, I have attended many clinics and check ups in the 10 years since until recently I seen
a new doctor who looked at my notes and said "I don't think you're diabetic" he then said I've had 10 years of perfect tests and as I've remained on the same dose of
Metformin in that time it should've been noticed. So I take a glucose tolerance test which apparently I should've taken at the start and it came back negative I'm not
diabetic. I should be happier but can't help feeling let down anyway that's my diabetes story and I wonder if anymore like me are out there.
