Thanks for your response. It's so nice to not automatically be told I'm being silly :)

I'm so reluctant to go back to a GP that sees body numbness and diagnoses golfer's elbow. I know you're right and I need to deal with it. I guess I'm just anxious about going back to my DSN *again* with yet another medication problem. Like I'm worried she'll think I'm faking or something.

Hello, I need some advice, this might be a bit long so please bear with me, I'm Type 2, and have been on various medications since diagnosis. Up until last year I was on Victoza but developed an allergic reaction to it so was put on Lantus. All seemed to be going well until February of this...

I should probably phone the diabetic nurse at the hospital with this but thought I'd try here first and save me the anxiety (I hate phones) Anyway, I recently started on Byetta and when I went to the hospital for the Byetta "workshop" type thing I was on antibiotics and the nurse said that...

Hi there, I was diagnosed Type 2 in October and have been meaning to join here since then. Procrastinators of the world unite! To be honest I'm just confused by all this. Nobody seems to have taken the time to explain things to me. I've been told I need to change my diet but not how...
