Good evening everyone
This morning following a Glucose Blood Test last week I was informed I now have Diabetes. I was told that next Tuesday I'll have another blood test to see how advanced etc my Diabetes is and also to check Anaemia as they said I am a little anaemic. At that appt I will also be registered at Diabetes Clinic at the surgery. THEN I have to see the doctor again in 2 weeks from today.
I am feeling very teary and worried. I am obese and the doctor has blamed that for the diabetes. I have previously on several occasions asked re. weight loss surgery but been refused as the doctor doesn't think it'd help me! I just think - if he had referred me - would I be in this situation now?!
I am also a bit worried re. my left eye as recently it hasn't been its usual self and today I read Diabetes can affect your vision - I intend mentioning at the clinic for an eye-screening just to be sure as read these are recommended.
My doctor has said he thinks I'll be needing tablets and diet plans to help me.
I have a dietician appt on 12th Feb. My doctor did say he would refer me in the past to a psychologist re. food issues but when I asked ,as not heard anything, he just said these things take time.
I am panicking as to what to do now.......... I feel lost - I feel weepy - I feel almost in disbelief - I feel AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!
Can anyone give me any advice / tips what I should do now. My parents who I usually turn to for emotional support are abroad on their hols......my husband is very blase about it and doesn't seem bothered.......my kids are "OK mum" - that's that!
