[QUOTE="Stevie_D_1983, post: 1075891, member: 274766"] Hi tim2000s Thank you for the welcome. I was originally diagnosed as type 2 hypoglycaemia which was a miss diagnosis. I was actually hyperglycaemia so was making things worse. I started off on metformin which didn't help. And was soon put on to disposable insulin pens twice a day. That worked for a short period of time but had to then be put onto humalog and lantus. My diabetic nurse was amazing to start with. But I have not heard from her in over a year. I've not been seen by my local diabetic specialists since January of 2015. Last January I was hit hard with the flu after having my first vaccination due to the diabetes. I was bed bound for 14 days and took a further 7 to fully recover. I struggle in the cold environment (which is 90% the nature of my current job role). I have suffered with severe stress and depression since my marriage ended 3 years ago and continue to suffer. I take citalopram tablets for this which to an extent does help. But was told by one of my specialist consultants that stress can effect my BG levels. Both my parents have been hospitalised over the last 12 months creating severe stress which I don't think had helped. March of 2015 I was off for 31 days as I was struggling with my BG levels and this was the first time my mum was admitted to hospital so the depression crept up. December last year I was off again with flu, this time it only seemed to affect me for 7 days. And now I'm off for 10 weeks pending further blood tests and an appointment on 8th March with diabetes nurses surrounding the pains in my legs that I'm experiencing. I've recieved no dietary advice and no nutritional advice, which is worrying as now I'm being told I have very high cholesterol I'm concerned about what to consume. I'm 6ft2 and weigh 13 stone so in no means obese, which is why the high cholesterol is a complete shock. Hope you can help? [/QUOTE]
