It can be difficult when medics are in a hurry. I suggest that you ask for a copy of all of your test results - people on here will be able to help you to interpret them and it will only take them 30 seconds to print the results off for you. Are you seeing a specialist now, or still a GP? Specialists often have a bit more time to explain things than a GP, and since your case sounds unusual you probably should be seeing one anyway. If you aren't then I suggest that you ask (very firmly if necessary) to be referred.manxangel said:well they still don't know if i am a type 1 or 2 i was trying to ask them my questions but they were all hurrying me in and out of everyone to get everyone seen.
I'm sorry that you are going through a tough time at the moment. However, it is important to remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel! Once you work out what the problems are and get the diabetes under control then the symptoms will subside very quickly. In the long term you are going to have to make quite major changes to your lifestyle but, so long as you do that effectively, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to lead a normal healthy life. Diabetes isn't (yet) cureable, but it is easily manageable - far more so than almost any other major disease that you can think of. Also, biomedical technology is advancing massively quickly, and there are many new treatments just over the horizon. The trick is to keep yourself healthy enough so that you can benefit from them when they arrive.manxangel said:I am so sick of this now. i just want to be the way i used to be again.
