hi all not been back here for ages as find reading very difficult
im a type 2 sufferer diagnosed 2009.i a also a sever M.E sufferer often bedbound and housebound unable to exericse.I developed diabetes since being ill with the M.E and suffer a lot of terrible neurological problems pain etc.I later went on to develop low thyroid and am currently very low vitamin D
ive found my gp surgeryto be useless.they havent help much with any aspect of my illnesses.ive pottered long mainly fromadvice from here and with more helpful advice from diabetic nurse
im always getting conflicting advice and am pretty fed up of it all.im told to eat long lasting carbs but i find they always make my readings go crazy.so for a year or so im low carbing as much as i can on a budget
im currenly on 1 glucophage a day which gives me terrible diarrhea and stomach problems but gp says it is not caused by the tablets.yet if i increase them my symptoms worsen.so i refuse to take more than 1 as my life was terrible on more of them
i managed to get my Hb level to 7.5 with one tablet and diet.the nurse seems happy enough with that but i do struggle and often find when im tired and unwell which is pretty much every day then my readings can vary so much and shoot up to 19s and i start to worry about wht to do.
at moment i drink more and that helps me and i cut out all carb for a few days it really helps.but gp told me im wrong to go total no carb as the fats from foods i eat instead are too much without carb ??
