I am completely confused , I was told I have diabetes....stop eating all sugary things and lose weight. THAT WAS ALL THE INFO I GOT !
I get checked every 12 months with a fasting blood test ( last time it was 6.7 ) my feet get looked at and I get weighed.
It has been nearly 3 years now and I still don,t really feel I have any control.
I do feel very ill with other health problems and have paid little attention to the diabetes so it is my fault but can anyone offfer a suggestion for a book or something to put me on the right road please.
I know it seems late to ask but yesterday at a hospital app ( other problems ) I weighed 16 stone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PANIC
I have to get things sorted. I have to find out how much of my not well feeling is related to diabetes..I need to get some control.
I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT, cannot exercise as I am disabled.
No drop in clinic for diabetes as far as I can find out in my area.
Thanks for any replies.
