Been type 2 for about 7 years now ive lost over 3 stone im on metformin and blood pressure tablets, on diagnosis i was 84 on my blood sugar blood test i got it down over the last few years between 53 and 54 trying to aim for 48 but not managed it yet but my latest result a few weeks ago was 82 from my last blood test i made a doctors appointment and she has put me on zircon 1 in the morning and still takking metformin, i explained that the last few months have been an ordeal for me my husband nearly died in january he was in DKA and had pnemnonia he is now a type 1 and he survived but slow recovery he is 69 so it was a shock, but he has never been ill before this and always active not smoked and did not drink much but he come through it they have been a few turbulent months with it all so much so i was put off work with stress i am a a and e ambulance dispatcher so with it being a highly fast paced job i had to be off work with hospital appointments and that and i was stressed with it all and worried about work aswell as in the end was off for about 5 weeks, i asked my diabetic nurse who said this could have affected my blood sugar levels, but my gp said it should not affect my blood sugar levels i am doing everything i can to follow what i am told now this latest result seems all im doing is in vain i have to go back in six weeks for another blood test as i have been put on cholestral tabs aswell as my result was 5, i have my yearly diabetic eye check on wednesday, had my normal eye test today but pressure in one eye was 22 so got to go for another test as should be below 20 so something else to worry about, all i keep hearing is you will go blind and loose limbs its starting to get me down as honestly i am trying the best i can, Anyone felt like this before i thought i was doing well but this latest result as just got me worrying more thanks Jan
