Hi Sharon, welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Are you coping ok so far?
Are there any particular questions you'd like to find out the answer for?
Cheers, Sarah

Gosh your B12 must have been very low to require so many injections in such a short space of time, my other half has them every three months.
Did you get much advice about your diabetes diagnosis, from the nurse.
What was your HbA1C which gave you the diagnosis, it will be a number over 48mmol/mol as that is the threshold. Have you been prescribed any medication or given any dietary advice. Do you have weight to lose.
Sorry for so many questions but it enables people to give appropriate comments or advice.

Hi Sharon, welcome to the forum.

How did your appointment go? It can sometimes be overwhelming when you first get a diagnosis of diabetes but please do feel free to use the forum as much as possible for any questions and support you may need.

Were the B12 shots to manage fibro or due to deficiencies? The symptoms of both health conditions can overlap so it's helpful to keep track on how the changes you make impact you.

If there's anything we can do to help, just give us a shout.
