Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with T2 over 22 years ago. I've been reading but not posting here for about a year.
About 3 years ago I was taken off Metformin due to my CKD getting worseso I was put on Gliclazide, well I might have been taking smarties for all the good it done. I am now on
insulatard in the morning and Novorapid for mealtimes.
I was diagnosed by accident, I had a uti due to a kidney stone, which turned out to be infected.
I had no symptoms relating to diabetes. So it did come as a shock at the time. Especially as it had already affected my kidneys.
When I was first diagnosed I was under the care of the hospital diabetes clinic. Back then the clinic I was under advocated cutting down on carbohydrates for T2s I followed that advise successfully. Now the nurse I'm under is horrified by this.
I look forward to chatting with you and perhaps helping others as well as asking a few questions myself.
