I was diagnosed with type 2 in may 2017 I was 38 at the time. I have never been controlled despite a low carb diet. I’m really fed up with trying every tablet known to man and still having sugars in the high teens when I test my blood sugars.
They have said they will put me on insulin but our diabetic nurse specialist only visits the gp surgery once a month and the last 3 months it has not happened with holidays and cancellations.
As you can imagine I am thirsty and tired all the time and bloods have been as high as 26 lowest being 12.
My average daily meal plan is something like egg muffins which are egg and tomato and ham baked for breakfast. Low fat turkey mince and veg for lunch and similar for tea. I’m trying not to snack but if I do it’s a small banana or an orange. I drink either water or coffee/tea with skimmed milk and no sugar/sweetener.
Assuming type 2 means I’m insulin resistant how is giving me insulin going to work because surely I won’t be able to absorb that into my blood cells either.
I’m confused and disheartened by this. Please help with advice. My last Hba1c was 88 2 months ago.
