[QUOTE="Vims, post: 749752, member: 157144"] Hi guys, just here for better understanding of diabetes really. My partner (30y) was recently diagnosed(24dec) with type 2 diabetes and we still trying to get our heads round it. He was given Metformin straight after which he didn't take coz we wanted a second opinion. 7th of Jan we went and saw a Doc who said he should start taking the meds straight away so he did. 2weeks on he's been complaining of severe headaches and tiredness and didn't want to take the meds anymore coz it was starting to affect his work. Anyway we went to see a DSN today and she was appalled by the way our doc handled the whole situation. Apparently he's a type 1 diabetic and needs to start insulin injections straight away.... Doctors hey! Anyway I'd appreciate all the help I can get here to understand how to help him deal with this. Thanks n take care [/QUOTE]
