Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd introduce myself as I've just been diagnosed and am new to all this.
I'm Lyndsey and I got a call this morning to tell me that my Hb1ac is 105. Been having symptoms so the diagnosis wasn't a surprise but the number really was. Trying meds before we look at insulin, meeting my diabetes nurse next week to discuss what all this means but my head is spinning with all the info I'm trying to take in.
My concern with the diagnosis is that I have a history of severe anorexia nervosa. I'm currently in recovery but I'm worried that I'm going to get fixated on my diet and numbers and that this will trigger a relapse. So, I thought I'd do some searching for online support and here I am!
Looking forward to chatting with you all and giving and receiving advice and support through this journey.
Lyndsey
