Morning All,
First forum post here, go easy on me 🙂.
Diagnosed with type 2 ten years ago, prior to a knee operation. That came as a shock, even though my mum was diagnosed in her 60s.
Fast forward to where I am today - overweight, under exercised (knee still isn’t fixed) and utterly burnt out with looking after myself. Take my meds (not on insulin -yet) but I eat terribly. I test occasionally, but get disheartened at my numbers...
Admittedly this year hasn’t helped, other than increasing the amount of walking I’m doing, but living alone and working from home since March really hasn’t been good.
Support from my GP practice is poor, other than them saying ‘you need to get your bloods down or you’ll end up on insulin’, which is all I’ve heard from them for the past 4 years. No wonder I’m giving up!
So, looking forward to digging around in the forums to try to reset my attitude and try to get back on track.
