Feeling really down tonight.
My BGL has been slowly creeping up over the last month or so no matter what and today I have had 2 readings of over 16. So it's on the phone to the DSN first thing tomorrow and I expect I will be on insulin more or less straight away.
I was put on insulin when I was first diagnosed in May and i didn't like it much - but I'm hoping that was because it was mixed and I just wasn't in control. When they took me off that and put me on byetta in June & levothyroxine in July - they were like a wonder drugs. I suddenly felt so much better, no longer tired all the time and I have lost over 4 stone in weight since then.
I am hoping I might be able to persuade them to let me keep taking byetta as well as insulin.
So gutted.
