[QUOTE="akphoto, post: 639894, member: 84975"] I was diagnosed with Type 2, 7 yrs ago, and it was well under control with diet and exercise. The GP nurse was adamant that I didn't need to keep testing my blood sugar levels. About a month ago, I started feeling unwell with no energy and blurred vision. I asked a local pharmacy if they would do a blood sugar test for me and the value was 22mml/L. The pharmacist insisted that I see my GP, who was as alarmed as I was, and immediately referred me to Diabetes clinic at the local hospital. The diagnosis was [I]rapid onset hyperglycaemia[/I]. Their reaction was to inject me with insulin and I'm now on a 4-times a day blood testing and 2 times a day insulin (increasing doses) injecting. At current insulin levels I'm still hyperglycaemic but it is decreasing very slowly. I'm on a 'healthy' diet that includes lots of carbs which I had thought were not a 'good thing' but the dietician said I had to keep carbs up as they gave me the energy I need. Any advice is very welcome as I didn't expect to end up on insulin. [/QUOTE]
