Hi,
Had to start over as my post has vanished.
How it started 12 weeks ago I had a blood test and was told my sugars were “sky high” and my thyroid was slightly over. They said to repeat the blood test which was done on the 15th, recieved a phone call yesterday (23rd May) advising I have type two diabetes, I was so shocked I couldn’t even speak properly. Im 35 so it’s something big and I wont lie im actually scared, which I put in my original post which was removed.. not sure why.
I joined as I wanted some advice, I noticed a lot of people have been referred to a diabetes clinic, should I have been referred? Im now on Metformin, 500mg twice a day. But I am so worried, I wont sleep tonight (currently 2am) has anyone had any issues with Metfomin? I did read somewhere on the nhs its not recommended for certain people but doesnt say what kind of people allergies etc
Any advice or even to cheer me up would be appreciated. Im that scared, I even asked thr doctor if I was going to die. But I also have anxiety so I overthink everything.
Any advice is appreciated thank you![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
