hello

Hey everyone! I’m Verity, newly diagnosed with pre-diabetes and just waiting to start on the Healthier You programme in Cheltenham. It looks like for me pre-diabetes has been triggered by chronic stress so I’ve a lot to work through... Honestly, I’m a bit daunted by it all - it’s a massive...

I was diagnosed at the end of August with diabetes type 2 which was a surprise but also due to carrying the extra weight for so long was also not a surprise! I went to the doctor's to finally speak to them about possibly suffering from sleep apnoea as I was finding myself more and more tired...

Hi. My name is Gary. I was diagnosed with Type 2 last week (HbA1C 70) after months of struggling with Sciatic neuropathy. As a result of severe leg and back pain I could hardly walk (yet alone exercise) so my weight sky rocketed. This coupled with bad diet and nosey doctors (looking at my blood...

Hello. I’m type 1 from Hampshire. I’m looking forward to chatting with you about the wonders of magnificent diabetes. Merry Christmas.

Just to say hello to everyone on here. I have just joined. I have been Type 1 diabetic for almost 36 years. It's only taken me this long to accept it might be a good idea to unite with others who live with this condition. I look forward to connecting. Best wishes to all, Charlie

Hi Everyone, I am newly registered here. I am awaiting confirmation of the type of diabetes that I have, although it is thought that I will most likely be Type 1 due to a strong family history. I am feeling pretty dreadful at the moment, I have an incredible thirst which I cannot seem to cure...
