[QUOTE="antonov124, post: 402716, member: 76454"] I've been type 2 diabetic for 3 years am on metformin 2*500mg 2twice daily and have recently stopped taking linagliptin as it wasn't helping and my hba1c was still rising, (is currently 7.6) i see the nurse at my local doctors clininc who seems to just say "take this and diet", oh if it was that easy. I have a sedentary lifestyle due to working 9-5 and know i need to get out there, but with depression etc it always seems to be 'I'll do it tomorrow' Should i only be seen by my practice nurse for my diabetes, or should i be seen elsewhere in the NHS. Have seen other posts re testing strips and i have no trouble obtaining them . my bloods average 18.6 and the nurse doesn't seem phased by this but i find it worrying other meds simvastatin 80mg anti-deperessants ramapril (was on adalat but taken off as my kidneys were flushing ketones) Am not sure what i should really be doing as I feel i'm being paid lip service and its all my own fault Darren unhappy 40 year old diabetic [/QUOTE]
