[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1979295, member: 209498"] I had gone in for results of annual blood check, which was because I have hypothyroidism, and the gp just casually said 'Oh and you have diabetes'. I was petrified though in away I had been expecting to probably become diabetic at some point, as my mother was T2 and I had been putting on weight since retirement. But I didn't expect it so soon, and had thought I could lose weight again. I'm terrified of injections after bad childhood experiences, and have only had one injection since the children's immunisation ones. But it did shock me enough to make me go on a crash diet, eating just one small meal a day, in the evening. I lost 23 lbs in the next 12 weeks, and found this forum. At my 3 month retest I had lowered my HbA1c result from 49 to 44. My weight and HbA1c figures have crept up since then, as I got a bit complacent. But they are still lower than my figures at diagnosis and the 3 years prior to that. [/QUOTE]
