Hi all, back again with what I hope will be a positive post for once! Thank you Iain for the post and PM. I will definitely get the jabs just a little apprehensive. Got called in last week to get bloods done. Went to see the diabetic doctor last night and she said I deserved a gold star :D...

Argh! Where to start! Sorry I haven't updated, i've just been a bit bemused a generally peed off. My first diabetic clinic appointment was 7th Aug, so over a month after diagnosis. I was told this would be good as all the team would be there and I would see them all. I thought it was a long...

I've hit a low. I don't have my first appointment with the diabetic clinic until 7th August. I'm not on meds, have had no advice other than 'eat healthily', i'm constantly hungry and thinking about food no matter how I try and distract myself. I've no sticks left and can't afford to buy any...

Right, my first week of healthy eating is over but I wanted to check what you thought of my diet so far, please be as scathing as you like! Breakfaat: 1 tortilla with salad, cheese and low fat mayo (i'm not a breakfast person but this is yummy and I thought if I had carbs in the morning it...

Yeah she said when I saw her for the last results that it would be type 2, family history, fatty etc. I've realised my problem isn't going to be healthy eating, it portion control. I made a stir fry for dinner and went back for seconds even though i made it for 2 nights. Small plates don't...

My doctor called me 10 minutes ago to confirm I am diabetic. My fasting bloods were 9.8. No tears yet, feel ok, strangely upbeat as it wasn't a complete shock. Need to wait for an appointment with the clinic now to see what's going to happen. Feel odd.

Getting my bloods done tomorrow. I've not had any obvious carbs (other than those hidden in foods) since Sunday and although I have a headache I feel less weighed down somehow and weirdly more energetic, however that could be because i've been behaving and my sugars are down a bit *fingers crossed*

Back in from doctor, went for a walk into town afterwards to clear my head. Results came back as inconclusive so I have to go back for a fasting HbA1a on Thursday morning and she'll phone me with the results on Friday. The results were 9.6 so not as high as I was getting but still high...

Thank you both for your encourgement. My main worry at the minute is if I am diabetic, how long have I been and how much damage has been done? I was in hospital for a big op 2 years ago, they would have checked then, wouldn't they? My eyes were blurry one day when I was in (prob more due to...

Hi everyone, I'm posting in here because I am 99% sure when I go back to my doctor on Monday I will be told i'm diabetic. With 2 close family members both having type 2 and be being a very large girl getting up to pee in the middle of the night set the alarms off. Being the control freak I am...
