Hi
I've been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 since christmas 2013
Have recently just been told that its actually type 1. Was previously being treated with metformin and forxiga
Had my first clinic visit on wednesday, was expecting to have to argue to keep using my meter, a contour next usb. I'd gone and got it myself and had been paying for lancets & strips myself, just to see what effects meals had on my sugar levels
Turns out, the clinic are very helpful, will prescribe the lancets & strips for my meter, and will prescribe for a second meter for ketones. Told me to cut out carbs. Told me to stop with the forxiga as its not doing anything
Have been told to start straight away on novorapid at each meal while i wait for the hospital to get lantus in stock
Nurse gave me her phone number and email and told me to contact her at any time if i need to
Totally surprised me, and i'm feeling better since starting insulin, though i hate injecting, i hate needles
