Had MRI Scan on liver at the begining of the week, was very frightened and did not like it one bit, however all done now. Apparently I was born with some sort of defect in liver, and because of the diabetes it is causing concern................... Next day went to Diabetes Clinic which was...

Once you have calmed down, things will seem a little clearer, it has taken me a while to come to terms with being diabetic, but I am looking at this as a new begining, a lot of people are walking around without the knowledge that they are diabetic, we have been given a chance to make a change to...

Well done you, a "PMA" is the key to success in everything we as human beings undertake. If you believe in yourself then others will follow. :D

You know something, the fact that we are all trying to make our lives better makes us ALL WINNERS, the one's I feel sad for are the people who know that they have diabetes and do absolutely NOTHING ABOUT IT, these are the people who whinge and ***** when life throws them a challenge and expect...

Feeling much more positive this week, managed to have weekend away with hubby, did a lot of soul searching and decided that I am going to control this diabetes, it is not going to control me. Metformin appears to be settling down, and am getting used to new diet, alcohol free. Have lost 1 stone...

Thanks for everyone's help and advice, it really does mean a lot to know you are not alone, think I will stay off the wine. x

Thanks for reply, good to know am not alone. I agree that being aware of intake of food/drink has suddenly become very important.
