Hi,
I've been grazing these past few weeks and so thought I would introduce myself.
My name is Kelly and I'm 32. I am currently at University and am towards the end of my second year. I am a Sci-Fi addict and sing all the time when at home.
I have type 2 and although only diagnosed in March 2007, I have been told that I more than likely should have been diagnosed in my early teens (looking back, I wonder why it wasn't picked up when I kept feeling faint or dizzy when I didn't eat all day and drank water by the gallon).
Currently I am quite lucky. I watch what I eat and am fine. Mind you, when I say I watch what I eat I mean I am seriously strict with food which at times gets me down.
Generally the diabetic team I am under is ok but there are a few people there who I think really do need a little retraining (the dietician for one who thinks I must have money to burn and have the IQ of a fly) but then it could be worse.
When my team are giving me suspicious information, I come here and there is always someone who has either asked my question for me or provided the correct information so I find this place very useful.
