[QUOTE="lilibet, post: 28510, member: 11459"] Hi all Feel I only log in when I want to moan or ask questions re bad things! Apologies - promise as soon as I am further down the road I will log in and be my usual sunny (ish) self and dazzle you all with my witty repartee. Until then though .... :) Diagnosed 4 weeks ago. Was knowledgeable a bit about diabetes but naively thought would get diet and insulin sorted and then be fine within this period. Kind of horrible to think goal posts move all the time and that being sorted is a relative term. However, am getting head round that part. DSN says things will take a few weeks to settle but in all honestly whilst I didnt think bs would be perfect all the time, i did think I would feel like myself again (but just with higher bs at times). However still spending parts of the day feeling quite lightheaded, dizzy and a bit spaced out. Testing of bs has not shown anything (can be between normal or higher than normal) but within a certain range so I thought things would be settled a bit by now and would feel well. Am still off work and (cant believe Id ever say this) desperate to get back as this will signify normality for me. At obvious times (ie before lunch) can get a bit hypoish and could not function at work at this time. Is it unrealistic to feel 'well' after 4 weeks. I know peeps are different but although I knew things wouldnt be sorted, I did think I would feel ok. No probs with thirsty/urination etc just the lightheaded thing. WOuld swings in bs do this? Am not testing after all meals but by default I am when driving. Sometimes bs can go from 5.3 on testing to nearly or just over 10 (and then back down). Is this likely to be making me feel ill. Please feel free to comment, trying not to let diabetes hypochondria get out of hand as if this is not usual I will be asking for DSN to check BP/pulse etc when I go next week. Have couple other symptoms but think likely bringing them on myself re anxiety - though will mention again to medics. Thanks for listening Lilibet [/QUOTE]
