yeah just found out in a letter.
"your recent blood test (insulin and c=peptide) have confirmed you have diabetes mellitus type 2. therefore, i think there is scope to treat you with tablets, once your blood sugars and metabolism have settled. we will see you in the clinic as planned"
(as planned is december 11th, so i will be left on insulin till then)
am i wrong to be angry? why are they doing this to me? i know diabetes isn't really an exact science but i've only just got settled on my insulin, doing my diet, and finally got my head around the thought of being diabetic. and now they are going to change me and mess me up yet again. last time i was on tablets i took 1 then 2 then 4 metformin a day. the one and two had no effect whatsoever and the 4 made me throw up. i also was taking diamicron and they didn't appear to have any effect either. my levels were still sky high and there was nothing i could do to get them down.
what can i do? yes i don't want to be injecting insulin for the rest of my life, who the hell does!!!, but i'm finally stable, i'm finally used to the idea and now they are gonna mess me about just before christmas and then what?
i thought i had myself settled and i was going to stunn them all and be this amazingly well controlled diabetic who was a real please to work with. and now?? now?? now they are going to send me back on tablets and i'm going to feel like rubbish all over again.
help me
