It's official. I was diagnosed type II Tuesday and my doctor is sticking to his decision. He called me yesterday to review my upcoming surgury and we discussed his diagnosis. He will call me with my latest round of labs (new A1c) and was concerned if I had seen a dietician yet. I have and he said just keep taking the meds, step up the excercise and diet a bit and he'll keep an eye on me.
So ladies. Here I am and I'm hopeful I can manage this condition as best as I can. I hope to offer support and encouragement to all - you have been so kind in the past in answering my questions - I look forward to doing that for you soon!
Take care!

Hi Jennifer,
Welcome to our sisterhood! I am gald you decided to stay and join our conversation. This is a safe place to come.
Please refresh my memory, what kind of surgery are you going to have? You are not alone with that either. We have to set up a convalescent section!
My surgury is scheduled for March 26 and it will be another attempt at dealing with menstrual problems (like we didn't deal with enought already!). It's called an uterine ablation and it's my last effort to avoid the hysterectomy (I'm only 38 for gosh sakes!) I had it done last year and it was mildly uncomfortable - nothing too major.
SO now I set my sights on my upcoming vacation and actually learn how to relax. In a sense, it is almost calming to know where I stand on the diabetes issue - I can focus on improving my habits and maintaining control.
Take care and thanks again for welcoming me to this sisterhood!
Jennifer
I must have missed the discussion of the surgery. I just joined this board a couple of days ago. Hope it goes well for you.
Need to talk...I'm here.
