Hi am needing some advice please, I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 6 months ago. My blood sugar is 16.7 after a 24 hr fast and the doctor gave me metformin. I work in the community and I cant take it as it makes me very sick. The doctor then said I would have to go on needle injections and when I mentioned my needle phobia he told me to get over it. I am currently on no medication as I dont know what else to do. I asked the doctor about the gas injection system for insulin and he said he had never heard of it. I have an appointment to see another doctor in a few days time. Is there anything else I can take? Or ask him for? Or will I just have to accept passing out each time I see a needle?
