And so my journey continues .....

Hello all I'm back again. You will all be pleased to know I have finally be referred to the hospital diabetes team query late onset type 1 just awaiting my appointment. Rapid weight loss of 3 and half stone now. Blood sugars still in the 20s and 30s medication regime of 2000mg metformin daily, 100mg stigagiptin daily, 27 units humalog mix25 am and 29 units pm. Had another HB1AC test result of 117. Each time medication has worked for a short period then failed to make a difference and blood sugars rise again. Constant skin infections, hopitalised for surgery on abcess, the dreded thrush constantly like I have never known (sorry if TMI) and so ooooo bloody thirsty/tired/moody/weeing all the time. Please let this be the answer to my prayers!!!!

Hi Sammi
Oh dear you really seem to be going through the mill with all your problems. Sounds like some insulin resistance going on there. The medic need to do something with those worryingly high figures. I hope your appointment comes through soon and you begin to make some progress in getting this condition under control. My best wishes for you.

Good luck with the appointment, hope you don't have to wait too long 🙂 You've already waited far too long in my opinion! 😱 😡

 

[Grannylorraine]

Hope you get some answers. It is very frustrating when nothing seems to help.

 

[Sammi87]

Thank you all for your responses. I really don' know who I would have turned to without this forum it' been so helpful and supportive. I really won' know what to do with myself when I finally feel 'normal' lol

Hope you get some answers soon and start feeling better. Not sure why at those levels you aren't in hospital as an emergency case. Hopefully the wait isn't long!

I can’t wait till you are on MDI, Sammi, you’ll feel a different person, feeling human again. Best of luck🙂

Hope you get the proper help you need very soon, keeping things crossed for you

Hope you get your appointment soon. Thank goodness something has been done for you at last.

 

[TheClockworkDodo]

So glad you've finally got that referral, Sammi, though it's outrageous you didn't get it months ago. I do hope you get the appointment soon and are able to get onto MDI and get those levels down.

 

[Sammi87]

Yes fingers crossed it comes through soon. All these medications do nothing but make me feel like c**p. Thank you all for your support.
