Hi
I was told last thursday by my nurse that i'm diabetic at the moment other than that i know nothing untill thursday when i have an appointment with her. I had to pick up a prescription for metformin so i'm presuming that i have type 2.
It come as a really shock to me i'm 37 and no-one else in my family is diabetic and at the moment i'm having trouble coming to term with it. But is seem everyone else esp my partner think i think should be pleased i know what is wrong and can treat it. i went to the doctors because i keep getting a rash all over my arms and legs.
I have no idea what I can and cant eat and ended up having an argument in the supermarket today because i told my partner that I could'nt have a particular meal beacuse the sugar level was 16. He thinks i'm being a drama queen about the whole thing.
I need to get a grip on this fast as it is casuing tension in the house and my 12 year old son is worrying about me.
an advice would be great , but please dont tell me " now you know what it is you can treat it" casue i feel i may punch the next person that does.
