Hi everyone!
Thought I'd stop by and say hello I've been reading a lot of threads and they have been very informative!
Yesterday I was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic by my GP. I am 27 and have a BMI of 22. My HbA1c came back at 105 and my fasting glucose level was 10.6 (I ended up having to fast for 18 hours because of having to work before the test, so not sure if that makes any difference?)
My random glucose test yesterday was 19.6 but I had 0 ketones.
The GP has written an urgent referral for the diabetes clinic so God knows how long that will take?!
He said that I have to go straight to hospital if I feel even a little unwell. I feel absolutely exhausted today but I think the heat definitely isn't helping!
I'm feeling very overwhelmed and quite anxious at the moment so fingers crossed the referral comes through quickly.
