Thank you Ditto but neither did I - I took it from the date I was dx irrespective that I denied it for several months after - that's how I see it anyway - and I WILL congratulate YOU on your first Diaversary Ditto albeit in February last :D x

Well done on your first year completed wirralass! 🙂 Hope you allow yourself to be a little bit naughty and celebrate with a treat.
 
Happy Diaversary, seems like Diaversaries are more significant than Birthdays these days.....

.....That it's my first Diaversary today.....

Twelve months ago when diagnosed as having T2 it was an overwhelming shock for me and I was in denial of it for months - it was only when I joined this forum in January of this year - (and thank goodness I did) - that my diabetes became a reality and I realised it had to be addressed.

Without the amazing help advice encouragement and loyal - yes loyal support I received from all you wonderful forum folk - and still do - I doubt I would have been in the position that I am today - by that I mean you alerted me to amongst other things - the dangers of consuming certain foods like Carbohydrates & sugars that would have had such a profound impact upon my health should I have choosen to ignore your sound advice.

The knowledge that you have imparted from your own personal experiences of diabetes to me is invaluable - I profess it's not been an easy ride for me as I guess it has similarly not been for you either but I still have a long way to go yet - still much to learn about diabetes - my diabetes - occasionally (Confession time!) denial creeps back and I have a field day eating what I shouldn't only to later be denied the pleasure of repeating my gluttony by a visit or two from our mischievious DF who - I hasten to add - is really only there as a reminder to prevent me (us) from relapsing again! Bless her darling cotton socks 😡

So - my first year living with diabetes ends tonight and as from tomorrow I invite - & hope my trusty forum friends will accompany me on the next leg of my diabetes journey - as I will with yours. I appreciate & thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done for me during my first year of living with diabetes - I am ever grateful for your input. Please stay as well as you can be - & be kind to each other.
My usual take care wishes & (((hugs)))

Thank YOU so much Martin and you're welcome but I so wish I knew all the answers to the problems & complications that most on here suffer - sadly I don't - neither do I have a magic wand which would be the saviour in disguise for us all - so we continually battle on the best we can with the support we give one another, you take care now Martin x
