Hi everyone, please be gentle as I am very new to all of this. I am so grateful this forum exists.
After having cellulitis in my toe and struggling to get it to heal, I had my hbA1c checked - it came back at 107. I have no other symptoms and am not over weight. I have PCOS (which has actually really improved symptom wise over the past few years) so I was aware of the increased risk of diabetes, and when I started having foot issues it crossed my mind, but for my results to be that high has really shocked me. I got the results today and have my first diabetic nurse specialist appointment tomorrow.
I will read through all the information here for the newly diagnosed but just wanted to share my story so far. It's a lot for me to take in but I am pleased to read some of the positive stories here. Thank you
