[QUOTE="poshtotty, post: 666730, member: 100221"] [USER=135068]@Phub[/USER] when I was diagnosed in 2007 my fasting bs were 15.7. I too was in denial as I felt well and was energetic. I didn't feel any different and I certainly didn't feel ill. The only thing I noticed was a rapid weight loss of almost 2 stone in 8 weeks, which I relished, rather than questioned. I had none of the thirst, excessive trips to the loo etc that are often reported. At every annual DN review I challenged whether I was really diabetic as I felt so well and had no symptoms and every time the answer came back that my fasting bs were 15.7 at diagnosis. To be honest it meant very little and then suddenly without warning, triggered I believe by trauma, I was very very poorly and needed medication and to look at lifestyle changes. There is something called a honeymoon period and maybe this is what you are experiencing, along with perhaps a little denial? Blood tests don't lie. You are one of the lucky ones. Its been caught early and you have time to adjust your lifestyle and you've found us. This forum will encourage you, educate and inspire you. Give yourself time to come to terms with the diagnosis but please don't waste time. [/QUOTE]
