Hi 🙂

Stumbled across this forum and joined up. I am 24, I have type 2 diabetes and just looking to talk and make some new friends.

Hope everyone is well!

Welcome to the forums cookiez 🙂 mmm, yum

Feel free to ask any questions, the Gretchen Becker book in the useful links thread is very helpful: http://www.diabetessupport.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=10406

24 - that's a young Type 2. I though I was young for being in my 30's.

Welcome aboard cookiez, look forward to hearing from you............

Mark: Thank you for the welcome. Yes, I am young but my doctors are at fault a little with it, reason I have changed my doctors now and getting better care. My previous surgery left me around 2 years with high sugars and its now developed into T2; I only found this out when I went to a clinic at my local hospital! All that time I was being told I was just a fat, overweight teenager [at the time] and needed to go down the gym. GAH... anyway thats in the past now hehe.

Novorapid: Thank you also 🙂​

Welcome Cookie! I love the purple, I only just noticed that we can change the colour, I'm going for blue today. Are you on any meds and do you have a meter?

Northerner: Hello! Yes, I doubt I am the only person, but it gets me cross that people are treated like that! I am on Metformin, 3 daily, as well as Blood pressure and Cholestrol. I rattle when I walk 😉

Klocky: Lovely to meet yours as well 🙂

Andy: I feel very centered but I feel more blue then purple [Got a cold...] but purple is my favourite colour!

Steff: Nice to meet you! I'm sure I will be sticking around... I'll try not to leave crumbs about the forums 😛

Natalie: I love colourful posts, least I dont like yellow eh? Yes I'm on some meds, Metformin for my Diabetes. I test myself twice a month, 3 times that day. How about you? ​
