[QUOTE="Teammidwife, post: 1380756, member: 327757"] Hi. I don't tend to post on here, but find information and comments from other t2s. I had been having double vision for a long time, was told I probably had ocularyasthaenia as it was unlikely to be anything else! I have severe migraines, but was told that couldn't cause double vision and diabetes was never mentioned. I was diagnose with t2 last April. My GP pushed a metformin prescription across her desk and said "you do know you have diabetes don't you?". Re, no! I have not been told to use moisturiser. As I am also coming up to my 65th birthday, watching the news about the nhs makes me feel I should go away and hide. I feel like a fat whale who is a drain on the nhs. I buy my own test strips as they won't prescribe them I have just retired from the nhs after being a midwife for years. I feel I have given a lot to the nhs! Take heart from this site, you will learn a lot. Good luck, ann [/QUOTE]
