I'm just On gliclazide now Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

They gave me insulin to begin with to control my blood sugar levels and I am now just on gliclazide to help me produce insulin. It apparently can become insulin dependant but that could be a few years down the line or 10 years down the line. They also told me my mum is not type 2 and will...

After a few months of waiting I finally have my mody results back. I apparently have a rare mutation that affects about 1 in 500,000. I would love to know if anybody else has this. It is a mutation in the abcc8 and kcnj11 which means very little to me but is referred to apparently as TNDM...

Well I have spoken to the hospital who told me had to wait until June and after a bit of arguing I am going in Thursday but told I can't see the mody specialist. I then took your advice and phone the diabetic nurse I know who said this particular dr does want to see me and is going to arrange...

Thanks I will keep you updated!

Thankyou. It really helps hearing you say this because I was starting to think I was over reacting and was prepared to wait for my next appointment but I'm going to push for my appointment. I've been prepared for it for a few weeks so was really deflated when it was cancelled again. I feel like...

I keep getting my appointment then a letter saying due to alterations at the clinic your appointment has been rescheduled it's happened 3 times now which is frustrating as I arrange the time off work. That's a good idea to ring the diabetic nurse team I will ring them tomorrow. I am quite...

I was asked to go to the hospital on the 1st of March which is when I was told I had diabetes and had my blood taken. I was told I needed to see a specialist within 4 weeks regardless of whether my test results are back. I have yet to see the specialist or a doctor

i was diagnosed on the 1st of March with diabetes. My blood sugar was 25 hba1c 15% and my bmi 18. I saw a nurse at the hospital who ruled out type 1. After discussing family history I was told they thought it was mody. I had bloods sent to Exeter and given gliclazide and told I need to see a...

When I was diagnosed with diabetes I found that once I started medication I couldn't wear my glasses it made my vision very blurry. My diabetes nurse explained that your prescription can change as your blood sugar starts to come down I had to wait 2 months to have my eyes tested to allow time...

It's so hard especially when you have to adapt so much in the first place just for other factors to mess everything up. Definitely a juggling game [emoji852]️

hi, I'm just interested to find out if anyone else finds there blood sugars fluctuate when dealing with stressful 'life changes' or situations. I'm not sleeping great due to different reasons and my blood sugars are up and down. I just wondered if this could be to blame thanks

I am on gliclazide twice a day. I was on insulin for the first week as my blood sugar was so high but they stopped it. In the beginning I was quite strict with myself but have slipped slightly resulting in slightly higher readings in the evening I struggle with self control lol

Hi my cousin was also on injections for 20+ years and is now just on tablets it must make such a difference! I had my bloods taken at the beginning of March but have heard nothing from the hospital since

Since finding out I have diabetes I have avoided social events that include eating out. My friends all want me to go out for an Indian Friday night. Am I making a big deal out of this? I already know that eating this sort of food spikes my blood sugar. I am a total foodie and wouldn't have...

No they didn't unfortunately, I phoned back and it didn't accept incoming calls

Thanks [emoji846] I've always been the same worry about everything! I'm sure it will be fine, and if not I'll deal with it like we do with everything else [emoji3]
