hi,
my name is Clea and I am a 40 year old high school Maths teacher in the UK. I got my initial diagnosis 3 weeks ago and am shortly off to get my first HBa1c results and find out what meds I am to be put on. Wish me luck.
Six weeks ago I stopped smoking and started going to the gym, changed my diet etc as BP has been a problem since I started early menopause at 36. The symptoms of that seem to have masked the diabetes? Has anyone had a similar experience?
Six weeks on the diet and exercise have made a small impact: Fasting Blood Glucuse was 9.0mmol rather than that 9.7mmol of the first set of tests and I have lost 3lbs. I am 5'2" and currently weigh 150lbs. Am working on that - although with my physique you wouldn't necessarily think I was overweight just to look at me!!
Anyway I guess I have yacked on enough for my first post so I will leave you to it
Best wishes,
Clea
