[QUOTE="chestershepherd, post: 138508, member: 22495"] Hi Ebony and everyone else who replied to my thread the past 8 months have been traumatic to say the least. When I last saw my consultant he told me my Pancereas had stopped working and that was it and to realise that. My point of view was that when his assistant lowered my dose of metformin to 500g a day things started to go wrong , he was very blase saying well thats life its just a coincidence well after much persuading he agreed to do a c peptide and anitbody test and guess what Insulin resistance was 128 and c-peptide 1245 so shows panceras are working and producing some insulin . So now on 2000g on metformin and 30g Gilpos a days. So my message is go with your gut instinct if you think you not getting the right treatment push for answers . The health service is excellent and I am in no way putting them down but sometimes they do get it wrong like in my case. The result being lost my job after 20 years service , selling my flat and on half pay. All because I got diagnosed on a Bank Holiday weekend and procedures where not carried out properly everyone just wanted to get home . In a space of 2 years I have been told I am type 1 then 8 weeks later type 2 in hindsight the patient is defo type 2 the consultant said then 8 months later type 1 again because of reduced metformin . Now they wont class me as a type 1 or 1 lol consultant just said take tablets and see what happens. And if they are and train drivers who need advice then please feel free to contact me I have become a expert in RSSB standards and guidelines in realtion to train driving and diabetes. [/QUOTE]
