[QUOTE="mickey blue eyes, post: 948446, member: 208328"] I had no Idea there were more than two types of diabetes, in fact I'm hardly educated at all concerning it, all Iknow is that my doc sez I'm type two and that after my sis (paramedic 300 miles away) told me to go and tell him to test me, he did and my bs was 24 at the time, he got me a test kit and told me to test in the morning before bfast, which I do (sometimes) I did (with 850mg metformin, 4 times daily and 60 mg diamicron) eventually get it down to 9/10 but with stomach cramps and still the constant headaches etc, then after complaining about pains in the legs etc too I ended up on a cocktail of drugs which left me with an inability to function at all (brain fog, vertigo, short term memory loss, inability to think) and I spent a lot of time lying on the settee feeling too ill to move as every time I did I got dizzy. so eventually I stopped taking everything and started again, now I'm on 500mg of metformin 4 times daily 60mg of diamicron and have altered my diet as best I can, I wasn't taking anything for the neuropathy as I felt it better to be in pain and be able to think but I have some nerve damage to my feet and lower legs, erectile disfunction etc,... untill the L-arginine which seems to help with the neuropathy (I'm told nothing can cure it) and my blood sugar which was hovering around 10 / 12 is now down to 8 ish in the mornings, when I was first given the kit I used to test myself during the day too to see what was happening but I was getting readings of 18 ish an hour or so after eating and figured that I was screwing up my average on the meter..
