FOOTBALL. MY husband is a sports fanatic and watches everything. Most i can put up with just not football.
Just spoke to my DN for the first time in a long time. Her and the DSN have been chatting about me and apparently i dont seem to fit in any diabetic group :shock: :?: I know this leads to the same thing anyway but i dont think my diabetes came the usual way diabetes comes. Before i started having diabetes symptoms, I started with horrific stomache pains which now i know was the start of pancreatitis. I have said all along to different doctors that when i was having gallstone problems it wasn't that that was playing up but the pancreas. The pain is in a different place. It was just coincidence that they just happened to find a gallstone and went with it, Maybe because i dont fit the usual type who gets it, who knows. For the last week or so i have been unwell and with the symptoms again which does affect sugar levels. I mentioned my theory to her and she says it sounds possible because they dont understand my sugar levels staying high. I also found out that the pioglitazone my doc changed me to takes 6-8 weeks to work and she wouldn't of started me on such a low dose. I'm having my 3 monthly test next friday and they are testing for GAD. I explained that sitigliptin (januvia) worked really well for me and i had a couple of good levels from it 5.5 / 6.1 but it was that one that brought about pancreatitis again. I asked if there was anything else like that, she said yes but it was a secondry care. Can someone tell me what secondry care is please?
 
Thats a great link. Thank you :thumbup:
 
Hey mistee

Glad they look like they are beginning to take you a bit more seriously. I take it you realise the GAD test is to see if you are really type 1.5 LADA rather than type 2.
 
yes, the doctor thought it now both DSN and DN. Nice to see they are on the same wave length sometimes.

When i seen a posting from you i thought "yep, he's gonna agree with them saying i'm strange" :lol:
 
Was tempted but in a better mood today :lol:

Like the current avatar btw :wave:
