I just wanted to update and say thank you to all the replies
I saw my specialist today and thankfully he listened to me
I explained even though my levels are coming down I literally have to not eat even though I'm on a lot of meds.
He agreed and said that as I will eventually end up on insulin it would not hurt to start a small dose of it sooner and come off the gliclazade. He said the bloods show my levels are down but still not in the range they should be.
I am to take insulin in the morning and evening .
He doesn't think the tingling etc is related to the diabetes as this sort of damage is After long term diabetes but will test my b12 and calcium.
I feel a lot better I'm glad to come of the gliclazade and hope that some insulin will help better control especially my morning levels which are around 11-13 and give me a little mor freedom to eat.
I'm still worried about my tingling feeling - if that's not diabetes what is it??
