29th of May, i called tonight but couldn't get through so left a voice mail

Diagnosed type 2 christmas 2016, now 16 1/2 years old. Got put on this tablet a couple of months ago, took it once and honestly thought i was going to die, luckily i had an appointment the morning after taking it and my consultant saw how ill it made me. So ive been put on insulin for a few...

I was trying to drink water but I couldn't keep anything down . Basically it's really gross but this mysterious problem starts with 'sulfur burps' intense, crippling pain in centre of gut above belly button. Doctors tested for h.pylori a while back but unless I have the camera down the throat or...

Yesterday I had my breakfast of veg and after a few hours I was throwing up etc , from 11am until 8pm. I know why (Well I don't but it's a recurring problem I've had for a few years and don't want to have tests so I get on with the pain.) Any way, I couldn't keep any food or drink down so...

Well 2nd day I've not had metformin (rushing around not time to eat properly ) and just tested blood sugar, at 5.7 ! I'm going to watch it closely but I think I'm going to ditch the metformin ! Next hospital appointment should be good

And what does "left foot 3v mean?"

And does this mean my urine is fine - " urine glucose ++ , protein ++, nil else. " This was on my letter I received after my appointment . Thank you .

Yeah I have literally no idea what all of it is just posting what was on my blood test form.

Just had blood tests done there was 2 other ones for testing which was anti insulin antibody and anti GAD antibody . Apparently the 1st one is to distinguish if it's type 1 or not.

My immune system is already pretty **** as I have psoriasis.

The reason for my type 2 diagnosis is because I'm slightly heavier but weight had been falling off as been ill for reason we couldn't discover ie bad stomach , falling asleep and couldn't stop myself and then along came a massive tennis ball abcess under my armpit with with 3 weeks of...

On the form it's says my blood test it to test - c peptide - glucose level -hba1c - insulin - liver function - non fasting lipid screen - urea , electrolytes and creatine - thyroid
