Hi and welcome from me too.
Loving your profile name! We could all do with more giggling, especially in the current climate.
Would you like to tell us a bit about your diabetes? Things like:-
How long you have been diagnosed?
How did your diagnosis come about?
What medication, if any you are using to manage it?
What your most recent HbA1c (blood test result used to diagnose and monitor progress of diabetes) reading was? Usually it will be expressed as a reading of 48 or more if you are diagnosed diabetic or between 42-47 if you are at risk of diabetes and below 42 is normal.
Any other info like complications or concerns.
Sorry if that sounds like the Spanish Inquisition.... Don't feel you have to answer any of them if you don't feel comfortable sharing that info. It just helps us know where you are on your diabetes journey and enables us to give the most appropriate advice or info to any questions you do have.
