Hi,
My name is Mick and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes on Monday 4th January. Great start to the New Year :shock: Must admit, it was no great shock as my father had it and my symptoms suggested this as well. Our Health Centre has been great so far. Plenty of information and support + flu and swine flu jabs.
As someone who hasn't had a day off sick in the last 8 years, I thought I was healthy. Just goes to show, you never know what's round the corner. Started new diet plan as soon as diagnosed and back to Health Centre next Monday to see how it is going. All a bit of a whirl at the moment. Not quite sunk in but I am hoping to keep smiling through all this but quite anxious.
Had a Rice cake earlier (what are they all about ?). Hoping for healthy alternatives to those.
Mick
