[QUOTE="Dannii, post: 21483, member: 10847"] Hi all :D Just wanting to introduce myself as i've just got told i had diabetes this morning when i went to see my doc after i've had 2 blood glucose tests - readings were 13.4mmol n 16.0mmol so i've definately been diagnosed with diabetes which i suspected i had already after all the symptons i started getting - increased thirst, needing loo loads, blurred vision tiredness, weight loss - (ive lost ove 1/2 stone in 2weeks), increased hunger n started getting leg cramps. But i thought i would be diagnosed as a type 1 because of my age being 20? :? but mayb not as my doc said i'm likely to be a type 2 but i'm not overweight or anything (BMI 19) so was quite surprised but least it means im less liekly to have injections as he said my diabetes wasn't sevre but i thought it would of been with all my symptons :? but since i cut down completely on sugar in my diet ive noticed in the past week or so my symptons have got better already - dont feel as thirsty/need the loo asmuch, my vision has returned to normal aswell. I avn't been given any medication as yet as my doc wants me to improve my diet greatly in the next 3 months till my next blood test to bring my HbA1c down which was 11.4 So glad ive found this forum now as ive already taken in so much useful advice and feel i dont need to bonbard the diabetic nurse with so many questions now, so yea just saying hi and take care everyone :D [/QUOTE]
