Good morning,
I was diagnosed t2 about 34years ago,after losing 15 stone on a Weightwatchers programme. If only I had kept off the 15stone, but I started putting on weight and at about 18 stone became thirsty, tired and miserable, result T2. However comparing myself with others, I am managing quite well and have reached 74, eyesight checked every year, feet every six weeks by the same podiatrist for 15 years, and retinopathy check appt. with same nurse for last ten years. Weight is still a problem and has been since age 4, problems are now loss of senses of taste and smell, which has led to complete lack of appetite. Staying away from carbs is helping with sugars also changed insulin and am now on Tresiba 108 units daily and Trulicity pen every Wednesday
Due H1abc in October. Have recently moved from Somerset to Dorset, where seems to be a different NHS, but at 74 you learn to keep stum and take whatever is on offer, hence the last DRet result came from a business park and not the diabetic centre where the procedure was carried out, heigh ho.
