Thanks John. I know exactly what you mean. And no need for the apology. I completely understand.

Hi again. I'm wanting to change my profile to say what form of diabetes I have. I cant see 'Secondary'. Is there a different name for it that's on the list?

Also, off topic... who would I need to ask that would possibly be able in add a 'Helpful' to the list of post ratings? I know there is 'Informative' and 'Useful' but I was thinking that 'Helpful' would be a good addition.

Ok... I'll risk it..... https://www.diabeteshealth.com/diabetes-and-anemia/

Sorry if it's not allowed

Thanks for posting the link. I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago after a routine blood test together with amemia (suffer amemia on a regular basis) I have monthly blood tests & diabetes never shown up before. I've no symptoms now/before. I knew amemia could give false reading, so why didn't my doctor?

Hi oopsie. I wish I could tell you but unfortunately I dont know. Not enough experience yet. Sorry.

Maybe Azure, Squire or John may be able to tell you.

Hi everway, I'm sure many people don't know about it. I have to wait another 2 months for an proper test. (as blood cells can last 90+ days) I got my head around thinking I was, so trawled the net, found this site, it's been a revelation for me, I'm low carbing, lost over a stone & floating around the 4's, (bonus)

I'm glad your doing good Well done!

Yes I think this is a very good forum. Lots of people with lots of knowledge.

Just one thing oopsie. You said your floating around the 4's. Please check with someone who knows for sure but I think you should be somewhere around 5 minimum. 4 is too low. (Four is the floor).
