Hi
Have ignored this diabetes type 2 for too long now! Buried my head in the sand to the point of being acceptant to feeling like poo each day. No energy, tired beyound belief, eat eat eat! blurry eyesight,,,,,,you all know how it goes! When i was first diagnosed last year I had a reading of 26.4(uk levels) but it really didnt register that it was serious. I took one metformin (suppose to take 4)and threw away the gliclazide and never tested. Went for an annual review at the drs request yesterday and maybe now i wil sit up and listen. Had lots of ketones? in my water and a reading of 16.5 first thing in the morning. My blood test was 10.9% but I dont really understand what that means? They have told me its really important to try and get a grip on this....So this morning I have taken my first gliclazide and decided to post on here as I really need the support. Cant do it alone ! i have watched my mother since I was 16 have diabetes and joke around with it,. She went on insulin so she could eat whatever she wanted. I think this has maybe contributed to me not taking diabetes seriously....So here I am .....declaring to the www that I am going to try real hard to get this under control and get myself well again....and I hope I will get to the point where I will understand that diabetes is serious and not something to bury away.
Thank you
