[mikej101]

OK. Here goes.
The names Mike and I'm 66 yrs old. Live in the UK and have done all my life. I'm not going to answer that load of silly questions about me and my life.
I'm newly diagnosed as Type 2 in August 2017 following the usual annual MOT at my local doctors. I had a phone call asking me to make an appointment with the nurse. All a bit worrying to start with. I've since been to see the DSN and she informs me that with my readings of HbA1C 48 that I'm type 2 Diabetic. All a bit scary ! She tells me I have to change my life style and stop eating and drinking all the stuff on her list. Turns out that I don't eat or drink anything on her list. She then proceeds to tell me to cut down on my alcohol consumption - I haven't had a drink for the last 35 yrs ! I've got to stop smoking - I don't smoke and haven't since 2006. I'm really getting confused now.

@Demodog . Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the welcome. I am indeed sad that Malcolm has passed on, in a way - but also sort of relieved. Dementia is a hideous thing. I think I'm probably more of a porcupine. I can fire my quills off in several directions!

Hi folks. Although I've never been found to be diabetic, I have problems that look so much like it I've been tested repeatedly, which is boring and irritating as the doc never seems to ask the vital question: 'if its NOT diabetes, then I wonder what it is?'
Just thought I'd come in here and ask if anyone knows if there are particular foods that set off what I call 'the wild hunger'. The crazy hunger that starts just after eating, and won't go away until I've eaten so much I pass out. If I knew what set it off, I'd avoid eating those foods at times of day, when I seem to be particularly vulnerable to that problem.

Hi

My name is Ann and I live in Australia, not far from Brisbane. I'm a retired librarian and now have more time to read than I did when working in libraries!

My favourite music is classical and I love going to concerts.

Way back, I was a very mediocre dressage rider.
