Any of those complications resolve?

Mostly, but not all 100% yet. e.g. used to need Amitriptyline to manage the pain from neuropathy, which was pretty much constant burning and sometimes stabbing pain. Now I'm off the tablets, and don't notice any pain at all most of the time.

Will keep at it and hope things continue to get better!

Ya I’m dealing with pain in tips of toes. Warm water feeling scalding hot. Mainly 2 big toes. It appears to slowly away but it’s hard to say.
 
Thrush on and off for months and I was losing a lot of hair after a few months of going back to the doctor she gave me a blood test. I thought it was low iron but no it was diabetes! Was a shock at age 32
 
No symptoms that I could attribute to diabetes. I was diagnosed with type 2 whilst undergoing emergency surgery as a hospital inpatient in 2003. There's a family history of type 2, but I was perimenopausal and had assumed the tiredness and sleep disturbances were due to hormone changes.

About 10 years earlier, a dermatologist diagnosed granuloma annulare on my hands and wrists. This skin condition sometimes heralds diabetes, but blood test results fell within normal parameters and the disorder had long since cleared up..

Whenever we were out, a friend and I took advantage of public conveniences. So much so, it became a source of some amusement with others in our circle. The friend had been diagnosed with type 2, but still the penny didn't drop.

A finger prick test whilst in hospital returned a reading of about 18 mmols/l
 
Classic symptoms.
Tired all the time.
Constant weeing.
Sudden weight loss of about half a stone.

Can't remember the initial HbA1c but it was high.

I don't have any symptoms now when my BG goes high or low, but I keep track with a Libre 2.
 
Constantly getting uti's, thrush GP thought it was down to menopause, weight gain even though I was exercising and so called eating right! Bad sleep pattern, pins and needles in the feet, sleepy constantly nodding off - not ideal in hairdressing lol Thirsty, blurred vision, sore irritated skin, flying off the handle at the slightest thing, my poor kids and hubby I will be forever sorry :sorry: Let say I do not miss any of that now and actually feel a lot healthier and look a darn sight better than I did back then and 3.5 stone and a bit lighter!
