Hi All. I've been MIA for a while as I joined before I was first diagnosed last June and it's been a fight with the GP and others since. But I now find myself having no idea where to turn. Sorry it's a long one. I was put on Metformin and had sickness and diarrhea for 3+ weeks, I was light...

After a long three week rollercoaster I have finally seen a GP today who confirmed my HbA1c at 80 meant he believes I have type 2 diabetes. I had Gestational Diabetes in 2018 when I had my Twins in December. I don't remember having a blood test afterwards to see if I was still diabetic. I also...

I've been monitoring my bloods for the last three weeks and they have been consistently high (15-18) I started on 1x 500mg Metformin last Monday and it has stopped my sugars spiking after food. However, yesterday in the heat I started feeling woozy and not really with it. I had been drinking a...

Just had my HBA1C today so still waiting the results but my average blood sugars have been 14.5 for the last week so I'm expecting a type 2 diagnosis shortly. I really hoping to go back to the gym tomorrow but am unsure when I should test, before and after or do I wait until an hour after? I...

Hey, I'm not even sure I should be here yet as I have no diagnoses, but I had gestational diabetes in 2018. I went to A&E Saturday night struggling to breathe, no big deal figured it was my severe hayfever causing it (I take steroids for it). Turns out my blood sugars were 12.1 and then when I...
