Greetings everyone,

I'm Gee and, firstly, thank you all so very much for the support and information I've gained from this site :)

This is my second post (my first was about gravy!), and I should have done this months ago but it was a big shock being diagnosed and my way of coping is to keep my head down and start digging for information.

I was given my Type 2 diagnosis by the Diabetic nurse after an initial blood test and a Glucose tolerance blood test triggered when I went to see my GP after a nasty bout of flu because I was always so tired.

I'm female and I live near the sea in Scotland :)

I found this website very quickly and it has made such a difference to my way of dealing with my diagnosis. Because of this site I consider myself a diabetic who manages my condition and for that I thank you all. Now I hope to be able to contribute and help others.

Gee
