It's now 2weeks since it was confiirmed that I have type 2 diabetes. I went to see the practice nurse who gave me a healthy eating leaflet and told me not to bother checking my blood sugars myself as my hb1ac was 5.6 . Having read The type 2diabetes first year I decided to ignore this and began testing at different times of the day, eating like a saint and exercising more.
I'm now having a wobble in confidence! I can't get a pre meal bm below 5.6 and most of my 2 hour BM are 9-11. I have lost no weight and I'm fed up. I've been taking the metformin 3 times a day as normal ( have taken it for pcos for years).
My husband thinks that i'm reading and stressing too much as it's only minor diabetes!
I feel that my family and friends have made e appropriate fuss at diagnosis but have gone back to business as usual and don't want to talk about it.
It's just dawned on me that this isn't a short term diet but forever and I'm feeling sorry for myself!
Anyone got any good ideas for getting over the miserables?
Thanks for the moan! I'll now go and take the dog out for a walk in the rain!
