Oh my goodness @kevco ! What a rollercoaster you’ve been on
I’m guessing the stroke came out of the blue? Did you have an inkling that things weren’t quite right health-wise that the diabetes perhaps explains?
Sometimes we don’t realise how weary, worn down and lethargic we have been feeling. Erratic and elevated blood glucose levels can be exhausting and are linked with low mood, but this may have come on quite gradually. Making a few positive changes can provide more energy, a clearer mind, and a brighter outlook. Plus the regular checks you get after a diagnosis with diabetes mean that any potential problems may be spotted earlier, and can be sorted out sooner.
Good luck, and keep asking questions. We have literally centuries of lived diabetes experience on the forum, so whatever your question, or worry, you can bet someone will have been there before you 🙂
