6 months today since been diagnosed

Congrats on your six month anniversary!

My only advise is in respect of insulin I take Novorapid and Levirmir too.

Honestly I inject anywhere and everywhere. If someone wants to watch whilst I do it well that's their issue.

You owe no explanations to anyone!

Hi Fawbs, it's actually quite an old post, so I'm not long 2 years into diabetic life now. As rubbish as it is you get used to constantly stabbing yourself don't you!

Hi smallbrit glad you've made some progress regarding testing, I am being dealt with by someone att salford royal hospital and haven't heard anything for a few months when I was told I would attend clinic in 4-6 mths for testing (covid permitting), been advised tests will be a formality and they practically diagnosed me over the phone back then
Not taken any metformin/statin since and started on vit d and multivitamins plus large dose of co-enzyme q10
My mum is practically blind which worries me the most

Are you attending annual retinal screening tests? Hopefully if you do experience any sight deterioration, they can pick up on it early that way. Mine was cancelled back in April due to you know what, but I chased them up and have an appt next week.

Had my first one a few month back and it was fine
