Hi and welcome,
do you know what your blood measurement was? i dont think the joint pain is diabetic related and i imagine they will have checked your inflammatory markers, i would go back if the pain is no better as it could be anything
 
I found that a lot of my aches and pains went away once my Vitamin D levels came back to normal - I was frankly amazed what a difference that one thing could make to my quality of life - so fingers crossed it helps you too
 
I've been in a similar position, but I had to get the results because one of my children was being investigated for a related condition that might be inherited. I couldn't face asking the GP, so I asked at reception how to get my results, and to my surprise they printed them off for me on the spot. Worth a go! And if you do get them and don't understand them, just ask on this forum.

Good luck,
Kate
 
There are other issues with Vitamin D beyond sun exposure - people can have problems synthesising it as well, I believe. I think it should be tested in everyone as part of their yearly blood work, especially if they've ever had a low reading.
 
let's hope the meds do their job and your BG comes down soon. have you worked out your carbs yet?
 
the course will probably include carbs
the urine test was to check for ketones which T1 can get with high sugar. It's probably not needed but I would get some keto strips from the chemist while your sugar is high. I guess for 5 pound and do some home tests to keep an eye on it. it's cheap insurance
