Hi, I'm Georgina, I'm 23 years old and just found out that I have diabetes on the 2nd of October. Its took a while to have the courage to post on here since my doctor said this forum could help in the long run. I have yet to be diagnosed which type I have but it's looking like type 2, I don't blame them for the long wait, I understand why.
I just feel like the whole world has come crashing down on me, I've barely even started my life and to have this this condition to manage is just too overwhelming. I went into the GP for something not even related to diabetes and found out like that. I mean, why now? Why didn't I get it when I was a kid or teenager? The only support I have has just been from my family, which I am thankful for but I feel like I need more support from friends, if I had any.
Its been very tiring these past few weeks with hospital appointments and blood tests, injecting myself with Humalog and Levemir every day, stabbing my finger for glucose levels, I just can't even... I have so many questions and worries that I can't even think of currently. I guess I should just ask for now, where do I go from here?
