Hi Im Type 2 diabetic on Metformin 500mg (2000mg daily)
ive not posted for a long time as ive been looking after my sick husband and attending lots of hospital appointments with him and also working full time
Im under so much stress and have depression anxiety and have high blood pressure and recently been told i have neuropathy in my toes and leg which is so painful
Im so scared now as yesterday on my way home from work i took ill in car and had to pull over i knew something was not right with my diabetes so took some glucose tablets which i carry round with me at all times... I felt at first my hearing wasnt right and then my head felt fuzzy and i was so hot i ended up with windows open and just a tshirt after 30 min i set off again but had to stop in aldi carpark i went in to get a drink and banana and stay there for an hr in car so it took me an hr and half to get home which usually takes 15 mins when i got home i had to go to bed for couple of hrs as felt that bad.This has happened to me 6 times before
i went to see nurse practitioner this morning as i felt so ill still who took my blood pressure which was high and temp and asked her to check my bloods on monitor which she said was 11.9 and said this was Normal which i said thats highest ive ever known it to be so god knows what it was last night and if i was allowed to monitor myself i would have been able to get help sooner she refused monitor and strips and said i dont need them
she said if i ever took ill like that again to call 999 for ambulance and she sending me for ECG and bloods again i left the surgery in tears i Cannot be ill as im needed to look after my husband.
