[QUOTE="PickledPepper, post: 146648, member: 26539"] Okay, I'm a T2 (no, not a terminator machine sent back to assassinate a future resistance leader silly!). I seem to have controlled it a bit at the moment. I am told this thing doesn't get any better.... I've figured out the condition involves 1 of 3 possibilities: 1) The receptors on my muscles, which open them up to receive glucose are bags of sh**e and not doing their bit properly. The old pancreas is working fine in generating insulin. It just isn't working on the receptors like it should be. 2) The pancreas is a monkey and not doing it's job properly. Receptors related to glucose are fine. Just not enough insulin being pumped into system to enable them fully. 3) Both of the above. [b]Next big question. How do we figure out exactly which of the above is true for us? What tests can be done?[/b] Sometimes, the GP and Nurse don't seem to have much of a Scooby! (As in Scooby Doo = clue). They have recommended that I follow their course of action (met + simvastatin + them being stingy with test strips) for 3 months before referral to a specialist. I'm not following their plan but am trying a more natural approach for the moment having taken met and sim for month and a half or so and then ceasing due to the levels of dangerous gas met was causing me to pump into an already teetering ecosystem. So how do I find out exactly how the condition is effecting me beyond the generalities? What tests must I insist on getting done by the Diabetologist, when I do eventually get to see him in a few months? I'm all fired up! [/QUOTE]
