Hi all,
I'm still pretty new to this after being diagnosed just over 3 months ago. My blood glucose control is getting better, I am adjusting to carb counting and generally just getting used to my new way of life. I saw my diabetic specialist nurse today and although she was pleased with my progress she said I should be trying harder! My levels are not normally over 8 and I think I have done pretty well in the last 3 months. She also wasn't happy with my blood pressure and has refered me to my GP who has prescribed me medication to bring it down which is a bit of a shock considering I am 30 years old. They mentioned that it could be something to do with my kidneys and are sending me for tests. I was wondering whether anyone has had any experience of this. It just seems to be one thing after the other, so much so I am dreading going anywhere near a doctor!! I am feeling that I am completly loosing control over my health and any advice would be very much appreciated.
