I did it! "In celebration mode today as just over a year since diagnosis I have hit the weight loss goal I set myself," says a buoyant Goonergal. "More importantly my HbA1c is down to 34 mmol/mol from 108. It's all down to advice on this forum."   I lowered my HbA1c

A huge thank you "I was left to my own devices after my diagnosis, with no support, until I found this Forum and all the wonderful members," writes Sue192. "A huge thank you to all who welcomed me and for everyone's brilliant general posts, support, advice and information."   Community support

Some people don't get it Poor claire1991 was met with a total lack of awareness by her boss. She writes: "Tried to ring in sick for work today. I'm full of a cold and have had BGs of around 19 since yesterday. Work's reply: 'can't you just have some Lucozade and come in? That's what we'd suggest.'"   Awful work feedback
