Ok briefly 78 female type 2 for over 20 years during which time I have reduced from over 18 st to 12.5 st. Was on insulin but recently reduced to 800 mg daily slow release.
Over past 3 years terrible tummy and b12 deficiency problems investigated but all normal. Over time this has given way to mental health problems which have along with escalating other medical problems came to a head this week. Had emergency health problems and waited over 8 hours in Urgent Care on plastic chair (abscess in nether regions) no finger pricks food or drink and late hours meant no cafe open. I asked at 11 pm if I could go home as it was starting to discharge and myself and clothing were becoming soiled. Told does not work that way you are being admitted for surgery and waiting for bed! First I hah heard of it! Long story short had it manually excised in non sterile surroundinga and allowed home. No Cleansing nothing.
My mind took over and I just stopped taking all medications. Over weekend mental health declined and advisors got involved and made emergency GP Appointment re Metformin. I told him it was making me fee fatigued and generally unwell. His reply shocked me ’well don’t take for 3 months and see how you feel. Really will I be ok I am shocked has type 2 diabetes been downgraded?

- T2D, I am assuming? Because of the metformin. And haven't seen anyone come in here and say no longer a T1. So, insulin dependent type two?
