Hi all,
I won't bore with all the details again as I've already posted so much on here
The latest news is that I went for genetic testing at the hospital, and the specialist there immediately told me I was a type 2 based on my answers to a questionnaire, my blood results and symptoms. She also saw signs of insulin resistance with the dark skin appearing around my neck and underarms. She gave me a different type of metformin as I was struggling gastro wise with the normal slow release. She also told me to stop taking novarapid, and to reduce my usual 50 units of toujeo down to 25 over the course of 6 days.
Bizarrely, my levels are the same. They haven't gone high, like I expected. I'm not as hungry, and I am genuinely stunned. She has requested more bloods to be taken and she has said I can have the GLP-1 after checking my kidney function.
I just wondered if anyone has gone through something similar?
