Hi guys, I'm coming here today to hopefully get some help
I'm a 60 year old lady called Billy I'm still working full time, although hope to retire next year.
I work for a local authority, running a children's home.
I'm a happy go lucky person, with a half full attitude.
My story
In January this year I had a tummy bug I thought, and after various medical test I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Had surgery in March, then told 3 weeks later it hadn't been cancer.
Relief to put it mildly
However I am now diabetic as I've lost most of my pancreas
But not 1 or 2, type 3C.
I hear you all say, never heard of it
Nobody has, not even my GP
My problem is my GP is treating me like a type 2, telling me to watch what I'm eating, giving me 2x2 daily metaformin 500mg, and I'm sure I keep having hypos
I become very light headed, feel sick and start sweating, I have a hot drink (with sugar) and 10 mins later I'm fine.
I really don't know what to do
Advice please xx
