Diagnosed Sept 2016 - visited doc with constant extreme tiredness
& thirst (couldn't leave house without bottle of water!) I felt pretty well otherwise but I didn't look good, my usually good skin was grey.
My dad had developed Type 2 in later life, diag after a stroke (like many others) but I was still shocked to be told I had it too. After years of being a low fat & high carb addict, I've changed the way I eat, but still have some bad days. I'm dithering whether to try No carb, otherwise I'm doing ok I think.
