Hello everyone,
I am 33 and was 'diagnosed' Type2 in summer last year. When I say diagnosed, it's more that it was decided that I had diabetes due to high blood sugars (around 8) and that it has to be type 2. They never made a glucose test. It was never established what type I really am, and after 1 year my long-term sugar levels don't seem to have improved at all - it's always bouncing between 7 and 8 or more. I'm on Metformin 500mg and take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening. (They think about increasing my dose, which worries me very much!)
I guess, if I am really type2, I may account as an unusual case. At least the doctors seem puzzled by me. I am 5 feet 9 and weigh around 66kg/ 10 stone. My diabetes does not seem triggered by diet, as I love my vegg. I am rather frustrated for numerous reasons, but especially because the doctors haven't been very helpful...but before I start whinging, I shall stop here, as this is just to introduce myself.
Thank you for listening 🙂
