Hi, I'm a newbie on here and I am type 2 diabetic. My name is Nigel. I am 44 yrs old.
i have been type 2 for two years taking oral Gliclazide 80mg twice a day, I monitor my sugars myself because I take a lot of other medication and in the last two month I have not acheived a lower reading than 13.4 I was put on Metaformin 500mg two days ago and I have reacted quite severely to this and am now told that my only direction is to go on insulin.
I am worried about my driving license and general health, I dont have good routines my health varies from day to day and my sleeping patterns this also worries me.
can anyone please offer some confidence forming advice please, I'm not afraid of needdles and have seen many in the last 20 years but don't much relish the thought of doing the deed myself.
I am also on anticoagulants which makes me bruise easily.
I would be very grateful for any posative advice anyone can give please.
Best wishes and thank you in advance Nigel, :shock: :shock: :shock:
