Can't believe that it turned out that I was not Diabetic...High glucose levels do not always mean Diabetes! Check out the pituitary gland!

Hi all, In case this is of interest to anyone, I had breast cancer 5 years ago. I was on Tamoxifen for 5 years. Anyone who has seen my previous posts will see that I have struggled with my levels, since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes just over a year ago. I am on Byetta and metformin...

Thank you Hana and Phoenix for your replies - I will have to write up my issues and take them wih me to the Dr's - I usually forget what I wanted to ask if I don't write it down and take it with me! Jecky

Sorry if I have put this in the wrong place - do move if necessary. It seems that I may have to go on insulin. Have been on Byetta with not much success, it seems everything I eat sends my levels high - I am type 2 but am wondering if I may have the LADA version, which I will be discussing...

Re: Diabetic and Proud!!! Hana, Sorry for the misunderstanding there and thank you! It's clear that you know your subject well - interesting about tomato soup! SO much to learn! :shock: Jecky

Re: Diabetic and Proud!!! Thankyou for your responses, John aka Wallycorker and Clearviews - great names!!! Yes, I have a way to go yet with control, but that it is my intention. I always enjoyed a drink and a smoke myself, and how much is linked to that and how much is just hereditary, I...

Re: Diabetic and Proud!!! Thankyou Synonym! It's all so tedious - the Gliclazide brought my levels down so low that I was having to eat to stay out of the hypos, and when you feel like that and you're not really experienced with the whole thing, and it's Christmas, it's very easy just to eat...
