A couple of days ago I meet an acquaintance in the local coop, who remarked on my weight loss, I don't think anything of it, weNt home and cooked dinner. Now just to let you know my father was diagnosed with t2 over ten years ago and my hubby, who's 45 has been t1for over 35 years, so I'm not new to diabetes.
Well as I sat thinking later in the evening, it all came together, the tiredness, thirst and feeling hungry. So I went and got Mike's spare meter, answer 20.4, shoes on, dogs leads found, 7 mile walk later, reading 15.4.
When to GP yesterday had long term blood test etc, been back today and yes I'm diabetic been put on metformin 1 tablet three times a day, insulin maybe needed, can't see diabetic nurse until 8th sept
Will because of my hubby's condition we have always followed a healthy low carb diet, I feel Lucky, I have a partner who understands, diabetes isn't new to me, I know it's not the end of the world, I know what to do and eat, but for someone who doesn't have that knowledge the wait until 8th Sept would have been terrible.
