Exactly. I said well hey! No one invited diabetes to the party! I find that if my control is bad it can aggravate the diabetes..I used to come on the site a lot. I was told I had 1.5. But recently dr confirmed it is type 2. I've just started forxiga tablets and finding them fantastic. I take levemir at night....but have been able to stop novorapid in the day....hope you are keeping well

That must be so horrid for you. Oh my! I would never be able to cope with all that. You two sound very strong. Well done.

Out of interest - please can you explain more on the MS
I have started to wonder about this lately .

As need/use stemetil for nausea and suffer weariness/fatigue
Have balance and mobility issues too .
Joints ache too . [is this a link to MS]

 

[alliebee]

These are symptons I suffer with ms...as I explained. I have had ms a long time. And diabetes just the past 3 years...ms symptoms for me are pain. Problems with nausea because of poor balance. Stiff legs. Hard to walk ect. Diabetes exacerbates it all

I thought my stiffness and balance and gait was an
simply getting older kind of thing .
Same with my achey joints .

The fatigue and weariness and muscle weakness is
something else though !
Nausea sweeps in and out and over me daily .
Off my food then when can manage something
Can only cope with a little snack size portion of something .

Have made an appointment to discuss this further with my
own GP on march 3rd .
It has been going on for a bit now and I feel it needs checking out .
