I'm a newly diagnosed T2. It still hasn't really sunk in that I have a lifelong diagnosis- my Gran was a T2 so i'm not the first in my family.
I am over weight (OK, obese. It crept up on me) but won't be telling anyone the numbers.
I don't want to tell anyone. I feel as if people will judge that because I am "fat" that i basically deserve it. I also work with one person in particular who will make a point of making endless comments about what i do/don't eat- and doubtless will point out that it's linked to obesity.
I have made changes in the past couple of weeks and do intend to take notice and actually do something about this. As my practice nurse cheerfully told me, i can either crumble and let it take over or make a difference. I am making a difference.
Has anyone else felt like this? How did you deal with the comments? I know i can't keep it secret forever- the number of appointments I sudenly have will make people wonder (and the fairly obvious changes to my diet).
I feel better for getting it off my chest.... but if anyone can offer any words of advice i'd be greatful.
