Hi and welcome from me too.
Would you like to tell us a bit about your diabetes and how you manage it?
Things like....
How long have you been diagnosed?
What if any medication you take to help manage it?
What if any dietary/lifestyle changes you have made to help manage your diabetes?
Do you test your BG (Blood Glucose) levels at home with a finger prick?
What is your most recent HbA1c result? This is the blood test used to diagnose and track your diabetes management and will usually be in excess of 47 (mmols/mol) if you have a diabetes diagnosis.
Of course it is not compulsory to answer any questions that you are not comfortable responding to but knowing this information will give us an insight into your individual diabetes and enable us to respond to your questions more appropriately.
