This is my attempt to get to grips with life with diabetes in spite of 16 years of it !
Was probably type 2 but ended up being treated as type 1 possibly having 15 stone extra weight didn't help !! Have lost 12 of the 15 stone via low GI diet and exercise but in spite of forlorn hope that I might get away from the needles I haven't . After a spectacularly bad 6 months were I thought I'd pack in the insulin altogether BM's of 35+ have persuaded me otherwise ...Now along with novarapid, glargine , metformin I'm about to start a cocktail of those with Byetta thrown in for good measure
I am not a happy content diabetic and wonder whether I will get beyond the resentment not helped by the knowledge I created this with my weight !
