[QUOTE="Gav-wxm, post: 1992632, member: 500800"] Hi Selya. This is my 1st post as I have only just been diagnosed with diabetes. I knew that something was wrong for a long time but it’s so difficult to get into the doctors where I live so god knows how long I have had it. Originally the doctor diagnosed me with type 2 but he said that there’s a good chance it could be type 1. I was referred to a consultant in my local hospital which I was told could take up to 8 weeks to get an appointment. Suffering from anxiety myself, I had to find out quickly which type I have so I rang the diabetes clinic everyday to see if there was a cancellation, after a week I got lucky and managed to get a last minute appointment. The consultant diagnosed me with type 2, the main thing was that I found out what type is was and could concentrate on that so that it eased my anxiety. I advise to keep ringing and asking people if you are unsure about anything [/QUOTE]
