I saw my psych yesterday. Reluctantly he has put my anti psycotic up.
Reason for that, is I am having a rather bad phase. The med on the whole is helping me but the increase is to tide me over. The med is Apperently notorious for affecting blood levels especially who have diabetes.
I have tried other meds with not much help.
Over the past 8 months on this med, my appetite has increase and am worried as scared that hunger will get worse. Also in that time, there is a slight rise in my blood levels.
I explained to my psych that I am testing regular and I casually said about funding the test strips myself.
He was flabbergasted that I was self funding. I explain that very few type 2,s get strips on prescription. And that type 2,s on a certain med, can,t thing of the name or on Insulin, are issued with test strips.
My psych is writing to my gp to say that at the moment the anti psycotic I am on can cause higher levels in diabetics and is asking if he can have a change of heart and issue me with the strips.
I am not confident that my gp will.
My psych also said that with this med and higher blood levels that my gp should be doing more blood monitoring then once a year.
So at the moment I am just not sure what to do
