Hello! Newbie dropping in

[Karen]

Hi, thought I would introduce myself, as I've been lurking for a little while now.
I was diagnosed in July, my bg was 19.2 😱 and my HbA1c came back as 10.7. Metformin and better diet has brought the bg down to 5.7, so progress is being made.
Glad I've found you - it's lovely to be able to chat with people who really know how frustrating/hard it can be sometimes.
Speak soon.........
Karen

Hi guys,

Just to say hello really, I'm new to this site but sadly no new to diabetes. I've had it since I was five and I'm now eighteen and a keen sportsman. Rugby, running and rowing for me. Diabetes doesn't stop me doing what I want when I want.

Welcome folks. Wow Karen, that is great. Congratulations.

Steve Redgrave was a shining example Tom. Wish you all the best with your sporting endeavours.

Hi John,

Thanks for the encouragment, diabetes isn't going to stop me doing what I want. I will not and do not let it do that. As for Steve Redgrave, I can do my best and I hope that some day I could be that fit.
