Message: <blockquote data-quote="Randomchlo93" data-source="post: 2665260" data-attributes="member: 583466">A few years back I was diagnosed due to two raised fasting glucose tests with my A1c being normal and the Dr said results were "confounding" but after going to group education sessions and constantly being questioned why I was there I ended up going to a different Dr who e-mailed the specialist at hospital who said no I wasn't diabetic and to monitor.Flash forward to these past few weeks I've had a ridiculous dry mouth and drinking and weeing loads, so while at another appt with a nurse I mentioned this and she told me to book a blood test.Although I knew the result was going to come back as being diabetic because of all the symptoms it's hit me like a freight train.A little bit anxious as didn't think my HbA1c was going to be as high as it was at 124mmol/mol so not knowing what the treatment is going to be but I'll find out next week.I'm already inadvertedly losing weight and don't think I'm personally that overweight. I mean I'm a 30yr old woman. Standing at 5ft4 tall and wear size 14 jeans.I suffer with IBS so going forward I know the two diets aren't always going to go hand in hand. Recently I cut out garlic and cut down massively on lactose because my IBS flared up massively. I worry now if i cut things out or change things for diabetes my IBS will flare up or I'll end up with not many options of food in my diet which really getting me down.I know it's super early days for me but I know its going to be an interesting journey...Any useful tips, tricks and suggestions would be appreciated...</blockquote>
