Hi everyone. I’m Ted and was diagnosed as Type 2 yesterday. I am determined to look after myself better - I’ve already lost a stone and need to lose at least one more. I am having my Covid vaccine on Friday. The pace is moving very fast. I’ve got an eye test booked for Saturday too.
I don’t know how long I’ve had it but I recognise that I had the symptoms of excessive thirst in particular over the last few months. I’m 47 and a blood test for something else revealed concerns when I was in hospital a few weeks ago. I so grateful to get a diagnosis because I can now be treated, make necessary adjustment to diet and fitness and hopefully live a normal life - but I’m also a bit scared.
I’m here for some kind words and support from others.
