Hi all, relatively newly diagnosed diabetic here! I was pretty anxious before diagnosis and then more anxious with it since the diagnosis was pretty rough (took a while to be properly diagnosed T1 so I just thought I was dying of high blood sugars all the time and then hypoing all the time and...

Sorry for the confusion, I've been on metformin since the start when they thought I was type 2. I'm mostly Keto diet. Went into A&E today as advised and feeling much better - they've done CPEP and GAD test I believe and given me a new system to check my ketones so I don't need to panic every...
