I was diagnosed initially in December 2017 as type two and started 500 metformin twice a day. Sugars improved them declined dose increased same issue add Gliclazide same issue increase glicazide same issue alogliptin same issue. Finally got referred to the hospital in February and they have told me they are treating me as type one and have stopped everything apart from metformin. They did a C Peptide test but I haven’t been told anything definitive but I have no family history of any type of diabetes. I am have difficulties injecting and managing my dose of insulin as I don’t tend to eat during the day and have issues with being sick quite often and I’ve had a few hypos since starting insulin.
I’m on 11 units of Levemir in the morning and 4 units of Novorapid if my morning bgl is 15mmol+ then 6-8 at my first meal 6-8 second meal and between 2-10 if I end up binging at nighttime. I can’t seem to control my eating habits and feel like I’ve been given a life sentence in a way.
The hospital also gave me a new glucose monitor as it takes smaller blood samples. They prescribed the Tee2+ glucose monitor and it has a Bluetooth app so logs my results on my phone but previously used a Mylife PuraX but wasted so many testing strips either not bleeding enough or my finger making contact with the strip and ending up with an error message
Any advice would be appreciated!
