, almost 72 years old, diagnosed 5 weeks ago now and have studied almost every column I think and now no longer nearly so confused about it, but still dissapointed to realize that this REALY is going to be part of my life. My question is, do we HAVE to meter, does everybody need to or have to? The reason I ask is quite silly in one way. I am not bothered by blood tests ,had dozens of them over the years plus anticoagulant blood tests . Last month had my first finger prick test at that clinic as had always had blood test before. Now, it didnt hurt, yet every time I think about it my knees go weak, and I cant understand why I should feel like this. So the thought of pricking myself several times a day is now bothering me more than having the condition. Did others feel like this and if so, how long did it take to overcome the feeling
Then also, if I have to do this, will I have to buy the meter or will I get it prescribed.
On the good side, the Metformin is curbing the appetite [ or maybe it is the worry] and losing weight for the first time in many years
First visit to the diabetic nurse this week
