Hello
Newly diagnosed this week over the phone by my gp's receptionist
I do have an appointment next week.
However a small history I had gestational diabetes from sept 15 - Dec 15 where I was on high doses of nova rapid levemir and metformin.
Both my parents are diabetic
I'm overweight but this week I have upped my physical activity from swimming to swimming and walking
I already have the bg checking machine with strips so I have constantly been checking levels and they have varied between 9.9 and 6.2
My other weakness is I think I'm depressed I want to hide from the world watch Tv all day and snack on bad things which has led me to binge on anything I get my hands on
My body feels numb legs feel tired my Hands are tingly
Since speaking with receptionist I have been confused feel like wallowing in my own self pity.
My family won't be helpful because when I mention iv been diagnosed they will be disappointed as in iv brought it on myself because I'm overweight
My hba1c result was 53
questions keep running through my mind
1) can I beat this thing and bring my levels down in 3 months
2) can I fast and how do u fast as in when do u start and when do end fast
3) how am I going to stop binging?
P.s
Sorry for ranting j don't have anyone else
