After advice please having been recently diagnosed diabetic following surgery. I have had the tail of my pancreas removed along with my spleen following a bout of pancreatitis which led to the discovery of cysts which contained pre-cancerous indicators. I was diagnosed following a glucose tolerance test and I am being treated with type 2 medication. Metformin max dose and Dapagliflozin. Both have lowered my sugar levels ranging between 6 - 10. I am still feeling rough suffering with headaches and having to drink about 4 litres of water a day to keep up with my rate of peeing. I have not been referred to a diabetes specialist or doctor. Just need advice regarding where to go as I am not sure if I am on the right treatment. The practice nurce that is treating me has been advised to treat me as a standard type2 patient and she is slowly working through the type 2 medications. With what i have read i am not so sure i am a standard type 2 case. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks Dean.
