Sorry, what?

Hello there everyone. I’ve only been a diabetic for four months now but have been educating myself on it - all aspects and all things. I came across the HumaPen Savvio online and love how it’s discreet and reusable. It appeals to me and I really would like to replace both my one-time use basal...

Yes, I'm glad you agree. I think I'm a T1 buT wishing I was a T2 as I'd rather just take a couple of tablets a day and sort my blood sugar out that way. I have been referred to a diabetes specialist at a diabetes centre (lucky to have one in my city). The nurses and doctors there are lovely...

@Bluetit1802 I've been told by many people that this is a very high number for a HbA1c test. I'm so glad I was unaware at the time of my diagnosis what these numbers meant or I'd have very likely panicked and cried!

@catapillar Unfortunately not. I received the results in a summary letter from my Doctor of our appointment and discussion. He didn't include the units - it just says 2996. :( I will give him a call tomorrow and hopefully he'll share what the units were. Yes, that makes sense about the...

@Bluetit1802 I think the only good thing that has come from using Metformin is I have noticed how quickly my blood sugar drops to a normal level after eating. Usually it's around 15-16 after eating, however upon taking Metformin that has reduced to 8-9. (The side effects of Metformin are...

@azure Thank you for your reply. :) I believe they took a c-peptide test and an antibodies test and both those results were negative. I do know of someone who has had negative results for these tests also and was wrongly put on just Metformin and suffered the consequences of high blood sugar as...

Sorry for the spelling mistakes!

Hi there, I found out on 3 July, this year that I have diabetes. I have a family history of both Type 1 (Dad) and Type 2 (Mum). I went for a routine healthcare check-up and my blood sugar measured at 19. The Doctor said he was unsure if I was Type 1 or 2 as my age (23) indicated I was a Type...
