Hi Everyone
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on New Years Eve.. so having just had my first week trying to get my head around everything thought I would seek out a forum.
Today was the first day really that the enormity of what diabetes could mean if not controlled really hit me... think I've been gliding along completely distracted by pricking my fingers & now its hitting home!
I'm on metformin which combined with the fact I have been low carbing seems to be doing the job... but thats only my very 'diabetic virginal' opinion... will feel much better if my nurse confirms it on Monday!! (snow permitting I can get to her)
I have just started reading 'The first year type 2 diabetes & have got Diabetes for dummies (for my OH :wink: ) but am looking forward to the information that I'm sure will be gleamed from this site!
Have a good weekend.
