Sorry to hear your still having high numbers As your temperature is high , I'm wondering if you have a bit of an infection. They will get to the bottom of it though. It's good to hear a diabetic specialist will be along later today, they are very good and hopefully you will start to get some answers.
I hope you start to feel better soon.
 
Very pleased to hear this Lisa and not before time!
* Make sure he/she explains exactly what is happening to you now - and also how will this affect your future Diabetes
* Your want and need answers as in NOW.
* Have a note pad handy to make notes - or on your laptop kindle moby etc.
* Write everything down as it is being explained to you and please please don't let that person leave your bedside until you are satisfied with their answers even if you have to tie them down with ball & chain!!!🙂🙄
Good luck Lisa, please let us know how your consultation goes. xxx

Good thinking there Ljc re high temperature & infection :D x

Hope you can get some clarification Lisa - if there's something going on in your body other than D, it always does affect our BG - and does make then far harder to keep in check. At least you are on insulin - but when a T2 is not on any medication, or only on tablets - virtually impossible.
 
They seem to think I could be type one after all and one of my kidneys doesn't look to good xx
 
Hi Lisa just sending you best wishes. It's a long haul but hopefully some answers soon and you'll start to feel well again xx
 
Sending my best wishes too Lisa. I spoke to our clinical team at Diabetes UK and they are glad you're being seen by the diabetes specialist. Frustrating as being in hospital is, it is also be the best place to get the answers and advice you need. If you want to talk about anything further, you can call our Diabetes UK helpline on 0345 123 2399 or email helpline@diabetes.org.uk

So sorry to hear that one of your kidneys is not tip top Lisa - that came out of the blue eh? Well at last they've donned their thinking caps at last - are they arranging for you to have a kidney scan. I hope so.

Good to see above that you have the support of the Diabetes UK team behind you. Its worth bearing them in mind should you need the urge to talk or email.

Has the Specialist been to see you yet? I hope your spirits will be more uplifted tomorrow & that you sleep well tonight🙂
(((Hugs))) xxx
