I am not sure I understand why something else would be wrong?

No reason for there to be anything wrong with you ... but you know what, if there is, you find out what it is and start working out how to do something about it .... just like you did with diabetes.

I have seen your posts and you seem to be working hard to look after yourself and be healthy. I do understand the feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. It is the anniversary of being diagnosed with diabetes? If so then I can only imagine how hard it will be for you but you will get through it. You can always post on here and people will understand. Take care, I am thinking of you.

Regarding your worry, something that I like to try and remember is:

If your depressed, your living in the past
If your anxious, your living in the future
Live for the moment

Obviously not applicable in all cases, but generally it's true. Your worrying about something that may never come to be. Relax and enjoy life..

I know when the anniversary of my diagnosis will be but I have no idea when I first became diabetic as I most probably had got diabetes a long time before I became aware of it and longer still before was diagnosed.

you should always talk to your GP if you have hurt around your heart, but that said if one is very nervous and worried one can get what some mention as a "nervous heart" it is not really the heart but the surroundings contracting in a way that can hurt a bit, it is not really dangerous and it usually goes totally away as the person stops worrying.... I myself had that very much when I was Young, and as I then began worrying even more and thought I was going to die it got really crazy and I had it many times a day, I went to my GP who excamined me and said your heart is perfectly well you are just nervous and stressed ... learn to relax and it will go away..
but in any case go to your GP and have your heart excamined... diabetics can get problems with their heart, but usually after some years or actually many years of having diabetes.

many type 2 goes for years without knowing they have the monster of diabetes and therefore they can actually have servere heart problems the first time they feel heart troubles of any kind, type 1 diabetics usually are diagnosed very close to getting the illness/condition and therefore their heart is not usually damaged and their arteries/blood vessels are not placked and narrowed so much especially not in very young persons..

I got my type 2 diagnosis sometime around the end of November 2013, - but (a) I don't choose to keep a firm record of unpleasant events if I can help it, and (b) nothing bad has happened to me other than the usual bugs, etc, that I would have got during the winter months anyway whether or not I'd been diagnosed with diabetes, and (c) good things happened in November too -my parents shared a birthday at the end of the month and my youngest lovely little dog also celebrates his birthday on the 30th, so more good things have happened for me than bad. So please don't worry!

PS Actually being diagnosed with diabetes and ending up on a low carb diet fixed a lot of non diabetic health problems for me that had plagued me for years. Diabetic clouds can sometimes have silver linings too!
