Hi just wanted to say hello. Im hoping i can get lots of lifestyle tips and how to really accept that this is for real
 
Hi Deborah, welcome to the group....

How has your progress been so far?
 
Over xmas last year i totally forgot i was diabetic. By February i felt so ill. Got bloods done and they had gone up from 54 to 120 ish. Last check in may i was ok again. But i must admit from being someone without a sweet tooth i now crave cakes and icecream when ive been told i cant have them.
Due another check so fingers crossed
 
Wishing you luck....
 
Hi @Deborah Read, trust you are keeping control of your Blood Sugars as you gain more knowledge. Please keep the forum up to date of your progress, a little bit more info would be appreciated mainly medication you are taking and how you are taking control of your levels. Welcome to the forum 🙂.

HI, I have been active on the forum since July. It has been a real help with all my questions (there have been many). So ask away.
