[QUOTE="searley, post: 186725, member: 31377"] Hi Bandit, i was diagnosed June 10, and the next 4 months were terrible for me, i had reactions to several medications offered, and it got to the point i refused all treatments, i faxed my DSN and said from this point forwards i refuse to take all current medication, and was not currently willing to consider alternatives.. needless to say, they tried to phone me, and email me, i responded to the email restating my position.. By december i was having health issues, liver function problems, pain, and the worst was i was so tired all the time. Early December my DSN requested i saw her, and my consultant,at which point they agreed a treatment with me to try, which i did, and since then things have been much better for me! not as good as pre-diabetes, but i do atleast have my life back i inject 3 or 4 times a day, and do a blood test 2 - 4 times a day, both are quick and painless.. the only other thing i do is keep a closer eye on my diet, but i do still have the odd treat. anyway i guess that's a long way of saying the the 'long term outlook' is better with medication, if your current medication is not working then request to try something else until you find the right stuff. also if you are struggling mentally with it, talk to your doctor, or DSN and request help [/QUOTE]
