Was diagnosed type 2 stage 2 just before Xmas, after suffering a very extended hyperosmolar session lasting many months but was assumed to be my mental illnesses and I suffered a complete collapse and breakdown and was told quite candidly by consultant that my body was pretty much checking out, if I had left it a week, was going to be brown bread and I never knew, I thought I was just going more and more insane.
Not finding it very good tbh, even the slightest thing seems to send my bg rollercoasting up and down, what is tiresome is people keep telling me to eat less but I find it very hard to eat even the bare minimum a day in the first place and before my hyperosmolar I was quite commonly going days with very little
A very strange thing though, is that my diagnosis path and time of diagnosis is to the almost exact time of life my late mum was diagnosed with diabetes, she went through a very awful time of delusion and hallucinations and her type 2 degenerated to type 1 within a year so I am very frightened bunny right now as she ended up with full motor neurone disease due to the degradation of the myelin sheathes in her nerves caused by diabetes.
Still getting to grips with it all, exercise bike turned up today so hoping that will help things, got it off Sports Direct for 30 quid new so that was a bargain
Pre-warning if I ask noob questions, I do apologise, I am an ex nurse but have forgotten so much and I do keep getting a bit confused with it all so hi to all too and my user name is because I come from south London and I drive a yellow three wheel van for real
