Hi.
I was diagnosed last week - Type 2 it seems, my HbA1c is 50 - and I haven't yet had any contact with diabetic services apart from an appointment for a retinopathy check in January. No medication prescribed. Not sure what to expect as this forum shows a wide range of experiences. To be honest I'm slightly relieved that it looks like a lot of problems over the last few years are caused by my diabetes rather than anything worse. I've had good experience with low-carb diets in the past and I hope that can be replicated. Exercise is a bit more difficult - I have a number of injuries from sports and other things that limit what is possible - only the boring stuff, apparently. Would really like to hear from anyone with reduced spinal mobility who has solved this.
