Hello. I'm newly diagnosed but I have had symptoms for many years, 20 years ago I started having hypo attacks & the GP I think didn't connect them, I had two in about 2 years - I've only just realised that this is what they were after reading the information the diabetes nurse gave me Both times I'd skipped lunch & so it really fits the profile. I am a regular eater hence I've not had any since. Could this mean that I have had this for all these years without knowing?
I've always been a thirsty person even as a child I was always glugging water that's not changed.
Fast forward 20 years & I have been really tired, always needing the toilet etc so asked for a test (my mother has it anyway).
I've also been really stressed out so thought tiredness might be that but blood test came back positive so might be a bit of both.
So I've also been a vegan for years. I've never eaten meat in my adult life.
Are there any vegan diabetics who can give me tips on what to eat that will help?
Thank you!
