Me and my team are walking for Diabetes UK, last september I was suddenly diagnosed with type1 diabetes after a long time of symptoms going blind, tried all the time, dehydrated and my GP wrongly diagnosed me which is a potentially life-threatening, I was upset at the fact that the symptoms where extremely easy to associate with diabetes but where never tested for it, until I became so ill with DKA (Diabetic ketoacidosis) and was hospitalised.

I found it hard to come to terms with this illness which led me to become so more ill with depression which I came close to giving up. My HbA1c was at 115 which is not a good sign and was increasing all the time.

I went to my new GP and my blood tests came back and they were worse than when I was first diagnosed so she recommended that I attended a DAFNE course.

In late April this year I attended the 5 day course which changed my life completely I am now in target of my glucose levels have reduced my slow acting insulin and living a more active and free lifestyle and not feeling so low.

I know what I went through and I know other people out there feel the same and it’s time to change. Diabetes in the long run is known to cause problems but you can change this by looking after yourself NOW.     

Please Donate and let’s get more research into Diabetes so that our children don’t have to go through what we go through.
