Hi All
Where do i start? I have been diabetic for nearly 10 years and never really paid much attention top it but atthe ripe age of 33 im getting worried i may not live to see my baby (Who is on the way) grow up and be able to provide for it.
I have never really bothered to control it ive just gone with the flow hardly seen the DR and just tried tolive a normal life. Im pretty sure my diabetes is down to my massive bulk (All 26st) and i've tried to diet even ITV & Fatima Whitbread tried to help.
Over the last 2 days i have really tried to monitor and control my levels but its just not happening. i was 17.1 yesterday and managed to get it down to 9.9 today it started at 14.1 but im only down to 12.6 yet ive eaten relatively littel and only had 1 bread roll for carbs all day.
I take 2000mg of metformin and 5mg of Saxagliptin as well as blood presure pills and simvastatin.
Im really worried because im feeling emotionally low at the moment and hate the DR's.
Im angry and tearful, Im always tired but work lots of hours. How long does the metformin take to get into your system?
I never taken it properly before and also i dont exercise much.
Please tell me im not allone and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Limited finances prevent going to the GYM and just the cruelty of those in the outside world when i go for a walk is to grim to bare.
:-(
