She said they are all clear and can't find anything wrong. So she advised to go to optician to check my vision. Can the...

Hi The DSN just left my house and for a long time I feel quite positive about tackling my diabetes. There was never any doubt that the next step should be insulin and that is upsetting. I told her I was trying to get some control back of my eating etc. She actually asked if I felt like it was...
