Hi everyone,
Wow has been a long time since I last posted on here, (over 3 years ago) so where do I begin?
Was diagnosed type 2 on 23rd November 2009 and was started on oral medication and straight away went on a diet to help, along with the help I received on here (a lot from Cugila, thanks mate) I was able to keep my sugar lvl's at an acceptable rate, so everything was ok.
Everything was fine until just before Christmas 2013, where I was hit with the news that my father had lung cancer, so my concerns for my own health were thrown out of the window and I concentrated on looking after my father. sadly he passed away on October 4th 2014.
Sadly because of this and a few other personal problems I gave up caring about my blood sugars and not even caring what my diabetes did to me.
Again my weight went up and at present am 17.5 stones at 6ft and my blood sugars are in double figures again even though on 31/12/2014 I had my MOT and my nurse said that my cholesterol and Hba1c levels were normal so she was happy with that, ( I didn't tell her about not testing my my blood sugar levels)
The lowest has been 3.3 and highest 22.1 so there are all over the place, and am now testing again several times a day trying to get them back to what they were prior to December 2013.
I have also been put on Sitagliptin 100mg along with my Metformin and Gliclazide and was told that I am now on the maximum dose for oral medication and also that the next step would be insulin, which I admit knocked me for six,
So now it is time I think to get back on to the tarmac and get back to beating my diabetes,
