Hi I was diagnosed type 2 several months ago and have been informed I have neuropathy in both feet and prescribed metformin. Apart from being told to cut down on carbohydrates no one has explained anything to me.I was told to attend the diabetic clinic all they do is cut my nails. I don't attend anymore since the last HCP caught two toes by cutting them to short and made them bleed. I have had the eye screening which was clear although I have small cataracts from years of taking steroids.
I have Crohns and virtually every secondary condition associated with Crohns this has caused me to become physically disabled due to Arthritis in most joints, Lordosis of the spine,bulging discs and Ankylosing Spondylitis. I think I have experienced hypos but the problem is Crohns and Spondylitis share some of the same symptoms as Diabetes. I have not been told whether I need to check my blood. For a very long time I kept telling my GP I felt unwell and it wasn't Crohns. The problem I found is when you already have chronic conditions they blame the existing conditions.
I react to most foods so I don't have much choice for my diet and when flaring I can only eat rice,pasta,boiled chicken etc.The one thing I was told was to eat little and often but I don't have much of an appetite and normally eat once or twice a day.I eat when I take my meds 12 tablets am and 10 tablets pm I am sure I rattle lol . Does anyone on here have type 2 and Crohns? and how do you cope although Crohns is a very individual disease some triggers are shared.
