[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2108533, member: 493719"] [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] thank you for the input. I hope i din't come off as disputing the needs of any type 1. i have a good friend with type 1, who until i was diagnosed i didn't really understand the difficulties or dangers her condition COULD cause her, I do know now, thanks to learning so much from all the Type 2's who lead me to safety AND the type 1's for who i am most grateful, who also lent support and good advise. whether directly to me or via the posts they made that kept me informed on so many levels. ...yours included. The purpose of the post was firstly to have a focus point of where we are, as T2, and probably more importantly as a rallying point for where we SHOULD be heading. the post's above and many others from bewildered Type 2's, just make it clear the system, IF there is one... is fractured, if not totally broken and no longer FIT for purpose. but where do we go from here.? well for me, lets see where we are before seeing where we are going. IF the projections are to be believed more will join this happy band and be left as destitute of support and information as i was. I get the letter for eye checks, i get the foot checks, i even get a HBA1c blood check. BUT like most of things i have learned about type 2..I have HAD to learn the things i NEED to know things like the fact b12 could be compromised by Metformin. I'd say that was a BASIC bit of knowledge EVERY type 2 should know. and should be offered as part of the HBA1c check, i believe.. yet it wasn't for me..i had to request it. yet it's NEVER been mentioned, along with so many other things we don't get told or are not spoken of in any depth. so how Could ANY of us possibly know, if we don't get told OR are nor not lucky enough to have joined this wonderful band of fellow sufferers. (*B12 depletion is a serious issue and needs to be addressed as soon as it becomes known ) I just want 'Better' for all us as we are, here today, and for all those who will follow. Shouldn't the Basic human RIGHT, be to be treated with the latest up to date methods rather then outdated methods, that have such a high failure rate, shouldn't THAT be a CHOICE we all should have ? EDIT: i am reminded of this post .
