He’s taken his blood sugar levels and it’s now 10.5 it’s never dropped this low before is that a good sign ?

He works in london from 8-7 so it’s hard to get to Doctors.

He’s feeling quite dizzy and he’s very spaced out you talk to him and it’s like he’s not heard you it’s hard to explain

I tried the GP again but the receptionist there won’t budge on giving him an earlier appointment and guess what she’s diabetic type 2. She said she didn’t need as much appointments and check ups when she was diagnosed and that is not serious. I’m thinking of taking him down to walk in early in...

Thank you all, it’s mainly because I have coeliacs disease I know how difficult it is to get a diagnosis (mine took 4 years) and how important it is that it’s diagnosed sooner. I hope he realises that soon and that he needs to get checked up. I’m going to the GP shortly and I’m going to see if I...

We have taken him down there a couple of times but he’s given up on some occasions after 4 hours of no help

We have a walk in but it has the same problem as A and E long wait hours and no help given I feel at a loss

I have phoned the GP but they can’t get him in to an appointment until next Saturday I don’t know what else to do. A and E is a 6-9 hour wait and we have been to hospital before and they discharged him withought doing proper tests.

2 weeks ago he had ketones present

He is very scared about the idea it could be T1 I can tell he is terrified by the idea of insulin even though he doesn’t say it I can tell he’s worried. The medication is not enough I think and he’s recently gotten blurred vision and the pain in his feet and legs. I will phone the gp again to...

Yes it’s a lot of weight lost and this is what worries me greatly.

Thank you everyone For about a year he felt excessively thirsty was going to the toilet often (I guess from the increase in water). He developed a black spot in his vision and went to a doctor in London. There his blood sugar was 32. Personally as much as he hates the idea I think he may be...

On his last test he had quite a high amount of ketones in his blood level, the go said it was a good thing as it meant he would loose weight quicker but I guess that’s incorrect ? They keep thinking he’s type 2 because he’s slightly overweight and blaming him for being fat and that’s what’s...

He’s reduced his salt take significantly to lower his blood pressure and is quite a healthy person aside from being slightly overweight. He walks 5 miles to work and back and is always on his feet

He’s yet to have the HbA1c test. He’s being very stubborn and not wanting to write down his food intake there I so let so much we can write down. I don’t get how the GP and doctors don’t know what type he is by now it’s been a month and the medication is obviously not enough From what I know...

Yes he has a glucose monitor at home the blood sugars seem to fluctuate massively yesterday he took it at midway and was 16.5 and then 20 then 17 and the last reading 18 He’s turned 50 recently he’s on quite a good diet as I have coeliacs disease so we don’t have processed foods and he doesn’t...

Hi everyone. My father has been diagnosed about a month ago now. He was sent to hospital with a severe eye condition and a blood sugar level of 30. He’s on metaformin I think with 3 tablets a day. I’m worried because his blood sugar is still at 18 and they don’t know if he’s type 1 or 2. What’s...
