    New diabetic still waiting for diagnosis and prognosis (likely type 1)

    Hello, I’m Anni, a 37 year old and newly found myself with the same issues as others here. I was admitted to hospital with DKA over the weekend and now discharged but struggling. My glucose levels aren’t coming down (they were up to 27 today despite very careful eating) and I’m waiting to have...

    DKA and Type 1 diagnosis after Covid vaccine (particularly Moderna)?

    Hi everyone. This may be a long post, but my aim is to explain my situation and find out if others have experienced the same thing. I have reason to suspect my newly diagnosed Type 1 may be a result of the Moderna Covid booster vaccine I received last year and want to see if there’s pattern...

    No diagnosis yet - any advice?

    Hi everyone I'm new here. I'm looking for some friendly advice since I don't know anyone with diabetes and really struggling to get answers from my GP. In the last month, I've started having symptoms that sound like hyperglycemia, feeling very sleepy after meals, as well as feeling confused...

    Advice

    Hello all, hope you’re all keeping well. I am in need of a little advice from you; over the past few months I have been unintentionally losing weight. I am part of the NDPP (NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme) for Type 2 which requires me to weigh myself before every session (roughly every 4...

    Type 1 and 0 support

    Hi everyone, Hope everyone is well and staying safe. I have been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes this April and ever since I embarked on a medical rollercoaster. Firstly, since I was the first one in the family to ever receive this diagnosis I had no idea what to expect. I was given an initial...

    My Story - Left it late

    Hey everyone, I wanted to share my story with you guys because my diagnosis got me inspired to start a blog. I have been wanting to do it for years and this finally gave me the push. If anyone thinks they have symptoms of diabetes (drinking a lot, weeing a lot, weight loss, feeling tired, etc)...

    Ongoing diagnosis confusion- may be T1 may be T2

    Hi all, I've been diagnosed with "some" form of diabetes - I presented all the classic symptoms in October; 8kg of weight loss, thirst, tiredness and eventually blurred vision. My GP measured my MMOL which was 26.2 at the time and his hunch was that I was type 2. Thanks to Metformin I have...

    I've been recently diagonised and I'm terrified I'm going to die young

    I can't stop crying. I've tried so hard to keep myself healthy and would only snack in moderation. I feel like I'm forever cursed. I'm scared I'm going to die before I'm 30. I know I will because I'm handicapped, yes, I can do things but I can't cope by myself, I find cooking so complicated and...

    One year aniversary

    It's the one year aniversary of my diagnoses. On the 1st December I went into hospital with an infection (cellulitis, second bout). This is why I was diagnosed. On the 10th I was actually told I'm diabetic. I suspect they'd decided I was by the 4th.

    My GP insists I do not have diabetes and will not treat me.

    I am getting very worried due to my GP's dismissive attitude to my health. I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, weak bones and high blood pressure amongst other things. Two years ago a stand-in Rheumatologist told me he was worried about my high sugar readings and that I had to...
