[QUOTE="busygardener, post: 1716132, member: 388324"] Hi all. Have just posted an introduction to myself on the intro page but will give a brief summary here. I have been diabetic since 2007, diagnosed with a level of 30mmol - yes you read that correctly, 30! Initially docs thought I was T1 as it came on very quickly after years of chronic stress. Eventually decided I was T2. I took early retirement from teaching in 2012 and BG levels and BP under control since. Was taken off gliclazide last year since discovering low carb and now only on metformin 500mg twice a day. However, just as things have been going swimmingly, I have received a diagnosis of breast cancer - caught very early and completely treatable apparently but still seriously worrying. I am staying positive and have lots of love and support from family and friends but none of them have diabetes as well. Not entirely sure what I am looking for from the forum - reassurance, support, don't know. Maybe just a few wise words - always plenty of those to read. I could have a serious rant about the unfairness of it all but I know it won't help. I'm sure you people out there will. [/QUOTE]
