[QUOTE="chocoholicnomore, post: 221619, member: 37812"] Hi IanD In answer to your questions my hb1a was 9.5 and my BG was 13.something. My symptoms were mostly feeling very tired all the time with no energy for anything. I put this down to depression as my husband left after 21 years of marriage (that's another story) I was also hot all the time and was beginning to think it was menopause. Didn't know whether to be relieved or not when told it was diabetes! It all kicked off 2weeks ago after flu and other infections and feeling really run down. Thought I had urine infection and that's when nurse found "loads of sugar". Have just collected new prescription for 500g metformin but am wary of taking it in case diarrhoea and stomach pains return! Have been referrd to dietician, podiatrist, eye specialist, and X-pert education course. Have no idea when I will be seen so just have to muddle through in the meantime as best I can. Am so grateful to everyone in this forum. They have all been such a great help with loads of advice and information. Thanks everyone Chocoholicnomore (just sometimes!) [/QUOTE]
