Hi,Im Tracy,38 (on Tuesday),Im married to Chris and we have 3 children,19,13,and 5,Im from sunny Kent.I have been diagnosed just on Tuesday as type 2 Diabetic.I met a fab diabetes doctor yesterday who really put my mind at ease.My 1st reading was 14.4,then i had a fasting blood test which came back yesterday at 17,and the one that really scared me yesterday was 25.4,I was hysterical crying on the phone to my doctors receptionist,thinking i was going to die!!!! Even though i felt okish.Thats when the doctor called me and asked me to go in to the surgery.He was brilliant and recommended i join this forum.He has put me on Metformin.My mum has type 2 also,but I dont really speak to my family so cant ask her advise on Diabetes.
I didnt really have any symptoms (or so i thought) I usually go to bed at 1am and im up at 6.30 to get the kids up for school,so put that down to me always feeling tired,I drink quite alot of coffee,so again that was normal for me,I was going to the loo alot more,but didnt think anything of it,i also had alot of ear infections,but didnt for one moment think this was anything to do with anything if that makes sense.So thats me lol.Look forward to chatting.
