Thanks @micksmixxx - that’s really informative. I phoned yesterday to ask again but the dr that was dealing with me is on holiday so still no results but the nurse said she would bring me up at the Friday meeting and ask a dr to look at my results. That will be 3 weeks since they took my blood...

Thanks @Circuspony - 4 weeks does seem like a lifetime. I’ve cut back on carbs a wee bit, for some unknown reason I’ve decided I can eat bread without anxiety (Bergen seeded) but have avoided pasta like it’s my arch enemy

Thanks @MancboyChris - sounds like we got the news around the same time. Are you still testing 4 times a day too? How are you finding the insulin? I’ve been asking the nurses but they keep telling me the results aren’t back yet, I’ve to phone again today though so maybe I’ll find out soon. Are...

Thanks so much for replying, it does feel like a no-mans land just now. I’ve read a bit about LADA and wondering about that now too...I guess I just have to keep on going and keep up with high healthy fats snacks to put on the pounds and wait for the results. The nurses at the diabetic clinic...

That’s a lot of needles @miahara - I’ll need to have a lie down just thinking about that!! Off to do my bedtime reading now, at least don’t have the keotone readings anymore as had to have blood literally dripping off my finger to get a result (I feel ill thinking about that) Thanks again!

Thanks for replying, it’s very kind of you. I don’t know what tests are being done (I was too hysterical to ask) I initially went to the dr as I’d had stomach issues, like a really awful IBS flare up, after months of heavy stress in my life - the dr did a urine test and found sugar and then...

Thanks Dave, I really don’t know what he was testing for but took away four tubes of blood ...I was trying not to hyperventilate through the first meeting so it went by in a blur. That was over two weeks ago now. That’s a relief to know it can take time, I’ve been an absolute mess with anxiety...

Hi, I was told I was diabetic a few weeks ago now, given a meter to take my blood readings four times a day. The dr at the hospital initially though type 1 because I’ve lost weight (became underweight but I’d been on the heartbreak diet after I split with my partner before christmas -great!)...

Thanks Jo, I’ll read that - I’ve been learning so much in such a short time. I don’t know if I’m type 2 yet, the dr doesn’t know but suspects it. I’m very anxious as I also have a scan of my pancreas soon (I’ve had stomach issues for months, possibly ibs, and am underweight but split from long...

Hi, I’ve just been diagnosed too - very surprised as I had no symptoms and went to the dr just before Christmas with stomach problems and ended up with sugar in a urine test then in hospital (it was a Friday) that evening for bloods. I’ve been to the gp today and it’s been confirmed, it’s a lot...
