Hello all my name is Daz and I'm from NE England.
Well what can I say I just been diagnosed with type two diabetes on Wednesday but not sure if it's my fault or if it's something that would have happened anyway. I must admit I have been a pig over the last three years as we had the lockdown plus a bit of a health scare not mine but in my family. I was drinking to much if I'm honest and when I drink I can't stop eating crisps and Chocky, biscuits etc everything that's bad for you, I was like a man posesed lol.
Anyway I'm not sure if I can reverse this or not however the diabetes nurse tells me their is every chance that I can.
So I will be doing lots of reading and lurking in the background.
This all started because I had a terrible pain in my chest one night but I was belching alot so put it down to wind. The pain got really bad and everytime I moved it really hurt, my wife wanted me to go to hospital but I refused as I really thought it could be wind. Anyway it lasted 3hours and she convinced me to have a talk to a doctor a couple of days later. I was told my blood pressure was through the roof and if they didn't get it down then I won't be here in 10 years time.
From that meeting they had me having a few tests bloods was one of them that's how I found out.
Hope you are all still awake lol.
Anyway thanks in advance for allowing me to join this forum
