[QUOTE="Jackie0022, post: 2074321, member: 505710"] Thanks for this it has put my mind at ease. The hospital doctor referred me back to the GP so I made an app with him (the GP who dealt with and sent me to the hospital) so I’m confident with him. I’ll phone the surgery today to make an app with the DN, and have booked on a carb counting course and make a decision if I would like to change. I’m not convinced by the t2 diagnosis as when in hospital I had all the systems of t1 so that what they tested for and started treatment as t1 (straight on insulin). When the test results came back and t2 they wanted to change to gliclazide and said they may not work as there max dose was equivalent to the amount of units of insulin (19 units a day) I was taking therefore metformin would work. The dr at hospital wanted to take me of the insulin and start on metformin so you can imagine my confusion when only 4 weeks ago they said metformin wouldn’t work. I have chosen to stay on the insulin because I know it works and feel uneasy about as the meds for my skin has to change. (Too many changes in such a short space of time and I’m really struggling with it all). [/QUOTE]
