Hi everyone
I am still awaiting diagnosis, but thought I would pop out of lurking to say thank you for keeping me sane this last couple of weeks.
Two weeks ago it occurred to me that all my odd symptoms might add up to diabetes. The doc said I needed a fasting blood test and the first appointment was in two weeks. I went straight to the monitor shop! Fasting test was today and the results might be ready Friday or Monday.
I was very distressed and tearful that first week. I found this forum and was reassured that it is not the end of the world.
I started low carbing, have lost 7 pounds in two weeks and my bg is now in single figures. Regardless of what my diagnosis turns out to be, I am going to keep this up. My horrible symptom of being constantly hungry has stopped thanks to the new regime so I feel a lot calmer around food.
I am making a folder of all the lovely, new recipes I am finding. Cheesy cauliflower mash - WOW! Planning on turning my potato patch into a celeriac patch.
Feeling generally optimistic thanks to the good folk of this forum. Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2014 x
