Hello everyone, I'm not actually newly diagnosed. Been diagnosed type 2 for about a year and a half now. Only just started doing something about it though.
So since diagnosis, I went on a binge of eating everything in sight and ignoring the problem. Apparently I've caused slight damage to my kidneys because of this. I started meds about 14months after diagnosis but have been up and down remembering the meds.
Anyway, I moved home and was off the meds for about a month as I started taking something new for depression which led me to...pass blood. While I was off the meds I ate a big bar of galaxy every night for a month (I know, stupid thing to do)
Gone back on the meds, minus the anti depressant, but now I keep finding I'm waking up with a numb/tingly hand, its there in two of my fingers atm and has been for 2 hours now. Now and again I also get it in my legs/feet and the bottom of my tummy is also numb. I can stick my finger nail in and I can't feel it at all. Should I be off to see my doc about this?
I must also note, I haven't been to any of my screenings, I'm the worst patient known to man and keep thinking if I ignore it, it'll go away, clearly not. I'm still trying to come to terms with everything, I'm finding it all so hard.
Anyway, sorry for the long winded post and thanks if you've read this far.
