[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2074521, member: 401801"] Oh my, that IS a lot of confusion! I don't have the answers for you, alas, I just have a few components that might make things a little clearer... Or not. I dunno. I'm a little surprised you haven't been put on the methotrexate yet, as the other meds may be causing problems with the T2. Hmm. As for Gliclazide, it forces you pancreas to make more insulin. So rather than you injecting it, you'd be making your own. But there's quite a bit of contradition about how much you're making yourself... If you're making very little, it could be that your pancreas is exhausted. (Forcing it with gliclazide, I don't know how wise that would be, but then, I wasn't on the stuff for more than a month or so.) It happens, if you've been putting out large amounts of insulin (and becoming insensitive to it in the process), and it just can't keep up anymore. Thus, it is possible to be both insulin insensitive and not making a whole lot of it anymore. So it's a bit of a puzzle, as long as people aren't giving you straight, and non-contradictory answers. I can only imagine how frustrated you must feel right now. Write down what others have said, and tell your GP all the contraditions you're getting. Then get a print-out of all your testresults and have him explain every single one to you. (No just so you know what they are, but so he/she can't skip over anything and miss something crucial!) You want to know where you're starting from, and maybe it'll make some sense out of the chaos you've been served lately. You can't be expected to figure all this out on your own.
