Prelim diagnosis last week, I think based mainly on random finger prick read of 20 mmol/L at GP surgery. Follow ups this week. Doc apparently certain that it is T2D, however.
Nice NY gift, poor kid. She has apparent genetic propensity for T2D on both sides of the family, overweight, eats a whole ot of crap like most other kids. She also has "slow processing", is recovering from some psychotic episodes earlier last year, and her mother died a few months ago from multiple organ failures apparently stemming from sarcoidosis, way back.
She's also one of the nicest people you could hope to meet.
She's going to need a lot of help, I think. Here in Oz there don't seem to be any particularly useful/accessible resources targeting young adult T2D's online. Does anybody know of anything in the UK or elsewhere?
