Diabetes and iron deficiency....

 Went to see the diabetes nurse today to sort out medication.

I forget how it came up, but apparently iron deficiency can lead to blood sugar readings that look exactly the same as diabetes...

 

So, now booked in for an iron test, just in case it isn't diabetes at all. 

 

Also, skinny people can sometimes get Type 2 diabetes, so I'm not even sure which kind of diabetes I have... But the treatment is the same either way in the early stages, so what the heck.

Fingers crossed that it isn’t diabetes.
