[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 240698, member: 30851"] Grazer is perfecly correct! Ypu WILL be fimne Vonster. Better than you were before. Don't expect miracles instantly. I canunderstand ,in a way, why they might not want you to test immediately in your case - other health problems ppossible interactions with other meds but 3 months is too long. You won't understand how to use that to best edffect immediately either so sooner you start tesing he better. Unfortunately some of the diabetes drugs do have sisde effects but hese wear off so be a little patient with them. If you have had problems with metformin , for example did they try you on the slow release version ? They don't always do that automatically , often you have to ask. I would try not to think too much about the gene pool. At least you have been diagnosed at an early age with plenty of time to reverse the sympoms. My diabetes has a high genetic influence too..They tell me I have probably had it since I was your age but it was only diagnosed shortly before I was 60. That was because I have always been slim.and lead a healhy lifestyle/ Although I had symtoms from time o time they were always disnmissed by the drs despite my family history and would disappear after a time. The pancreas does not deteriorate at an even pace but they di not seem to know that. I was also the despair of the drs and nurses because there were no quick fixes. They couldnt ell me to lose weight stop smaking or drinking or change my diet. If you need to do any of these things then you WILL see quicjk results . There is a hread on here "aAnother plus due to diabees" where several of the newly diagnosed post about their positive experiences. Take a look. If you cut your starchy carbs you can't help bu lose weight and improve your sugar levels. If you can manage some exercise when your oe is beter this will speed the process. You have more than one resason to make some changes. take the advice above from Daisy and Grazer. I wish I had had such good advice when first diagnosed. le us know how you get on. You are entitled to a little wallow but, at your age I would try to see it more an opportunity to turn things around so that you can enjoy a long and healthy life Getting a meter and strips and learning how to use it best will put you in control Good luck!
