Hi everyone
I have been a member for a week or so , but here, at last, is my intro.
I was Dxd in December and am trying to manage things on Metformin with each meal and the "e" word. I had gestational diabetes 10 years ago and was insulin dependent then, so I had a rough idea of what to do. Good job, as my appointment with the dietician is still over a week away.
I am a teacher at a girls' school in the UK, and married with one daughter, one husband and a dog who is over 19 years old.
I am a bit of a sci-fi/horror geek, but my girls keep telling me "Geek is the new chic",
so I am quite happy.
I'm a "big girl" but have lost 2 stone since August when I suspected things were out of control after returning from a 2 week all-inclusive holiday where I made a beast out of myself, and enjoyed every minute of it. On our return, I noticed the old symptoms had returned and went on a low-carb diet to reverse them. Too late. Have between 4 stone to go before GP says he will consider taking me off medication for high blood pressure or Metformin.
No idea what else to tell you.
Thanks for all your support
