Having just been diagnosed as a type 2, I went to see the diabetic nurse who, checked my feet, blood pressure and weight.
I asked if I would be on medication long as my HbA1c was 110 mmol, she replied that I would be on some form of medication indefinitely, the doctor also said the same. Currently am on Gliclazide and Metformin, they agreed to test my HbA1c again in 3 months instead of 6 which was said to me at first.
My sisters boyfriend who was 53 mmol was given the option of changing his diet instead of meds and he has now reversed this diabetes.
I have been told my HbA1c is so high I need to be on medication and can’t bring it down with diet alone, I’m hoping that when I’m tested in 3 months I will be below 50 mmol and diet changes would be enough.
I don’t mind taking meds if I need to, but never thought I’d have to forever, when my diabetes is better controlled.
