Hello
I am new to this forum and have been advised to repost this in here to see if anybody can shine any light or give me any advice. I was diagnosed with diabetes (professionals still not sure which type) in November 2011. I already suffer with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and Fibromyalgia. My current medication is Novomix 30 8 units in the morning and 14 units at dinner time and 2 Metformin daily. We managed to get me settled when i came out of hospital but after a couple of months i started to have hypos before lunch time so we stopped the insulin in the morning. Gradually my blood sugars crept up again so i started on insulin in the morning again as well as all my other medications!! Happily sailed along on this until a couple of months ago i started to have hupos again - i have contacted my specialist diabetes nurse but she never gets back to me - if i go to the doctors they refer me to the nurse and i am going round in circles!! So i stopped insulin in the morning again and lo and behold up they have crept although they are sort of ok before a meal is due, wheni test my blood 2 hours after a meal they can be as high as 18!
CRPS is a nervous system problem which tells my brain i am in trauma all of the time so my pupils are constantly dilated, blood vessels constricted and in constant pain - i suppose maybe this could have an effect on my sugars?? There i am at a loss too because nobody knows very much about CRPS either which doesnt help. My vision is becoming blurry just like it was before dagnosis - i am constantly thirsty and weeing, nauseaous but nobody seems to listen and i mean really listen to me. Can anybody help even if it is just to let me know if blood sugars of 18 between meals is ok?? Many Thanks Julie
