I am new to diabetes UK and this forum but not to diabetes.
Diagnosed Type 2 twenty years ago this year.
Live in Carshalton; London borough of Sutton but moving to Norfolk as soon as people in the property wish to buy find somewhere.
Diabetes often managed well with hbA1c normally between 50 & 60.
However last October discovered it was at 94.
I have various & numerous health conditions.
Had accident at work in Nov 2017 which has left me unable to work.
I am 65 next month.
This accident affected my mental health and left me severely depressed and stressed. Eventually had some help and am feeling much better at present.
My accident means I am unable to walk far most days or do other things.
Allergic to Metformin since first diagnosed. Currently undergoing local community diabetes team. Tried type of insulin but withdrawn from it as it lowered blood sugar too much and is not good for people with a possibility of pancreatic cancer which my family has history of.
Currently take Pioglitazone (AM) and glimiperide (PM).
Have to watch which meds I take as am on a variety of meds for my different health conditions. Am allergic to some drugs and not to use others because of affects. EG; Not allowed drugs with codeine because of kidney problems.
Looking forward to being part of this forum
