[QUOTE="John Mckay, post: 2343826, member: 533964"] So nearly 3 weeks on and after blood tests i was told im type 2 and was put on Metformin and Alogliptin. Was starting to get my head around the diagnosis only to be told last Friday " oh we didnt have all your test results back and you are actually type1" To say i was angry is an understatement!!! GP told me to stop taking the meds as i need insulin and the hospital will be in touch "sometime" Recieved a text from my GP surgery to book an appointment with a diabetic nurse. Was then told it would be done over the phone due to Covid procedures. No phone call came. Was told this morning it was a face to face appointment and ive missed it after being told it would be a phone appointment. The way this has been handled has left me very angry and stressed. To be told i need insulin then just left with no meds at all is worrying to say the least . I have no idea what my glucose levels are at present and my eyesight is ever so slightly out of focus. After all this i have been gradually changing my eating habits. Overnight oats with Greek yogurt,blueberries and strawberries for breakfast on weekdays. No more white bread or white rice wholegrain pasta low fat cheese spreads wholewheat bread oily fish at least 3 times a week and more chicken {GP advised me to eat more protien} and more exercise {5 mile walk the last 3 Saturdays} The raging thirst has gone im not having to pee anywhere near as much and im sleeping a lot better in fact i feel really well. My weight has stabilised but i have lost a lot of muscle. I,m 6"3 and a big guy not fat but big and broad and have always had a healthy appetite and have always eaten healthily so im struggling a bit to feel full when eating. I just want to know exactly what type i am so i can start the treatment and get on with managing the diabetes in the right way. Got to be positive! [/QUOTE]
