hi all,
i was diagnosed type 1 last may and put staight onto insulin. its almost a year down the line now and on wednesday the diabetic nurse told me that she thinks that i may be type 2, and that they are going to put me onto metformin. I presume at this time that i will be on both metformin and insulin.
The question iv'e got is that part of my job was driving lorries which obviously i had to stop as i was insulin dependent. What i was wondering was has anyone gone from insulin to just metformin and also can i get my LGV licence back if this were to happen. i know i should have asked more questions about futher treatments when i was in the hospital but i just didn't think until later.
