Hello! Thanks for your reply :-) I'm not at all, really worried at the moment. Going to call now and see what they say. Not under a consultant - nurse tried to refer me last year but wasn't deemed serious enough?

Hello! Just after a little advice re: high bood sugars. I was diagnosed with Type 2 (MODY) in 2012 when I was 22, and up until the last 6 months or they've always been well controlled. I just take Gliclazide. My hba1c levels were always in the 40's, however at my December 2016 it was 60. We...

Hello! I went for my diabetic check up a couple of weeks ago, where the nurse told me my sugars were high (they're normally well controlled), my blood pressure was high again (I do tend to struggle with it and was already on 10mg Rampril and 5mg amplodimine). My medication was upped for both...

Hi Dawn I don't even know where to start! Lol. They're basically baffled as to what type I am, some are saying type 2, others MODY. Been sent back and forth to different consultants, for different tests, and with the c-peptide one they'd forgotton to put it on ice and messed the results up, but...

Thank you both! Unfortunately doesn't look like I'll be finding out anytime soon! Had an appointment with a consultant yesterday and feel like I've been set back another 6 months, just useless. Beyond fed up now, ha. Thank you for all the info, far more helpful than anything else I've recieved...
