my question is more about not wanting to get pregnant i'm afraid, but i was hoping someone here might know what i'm talking about.
back in sept i had the contraceptive implnat inserted into my arm.
since i have had it in i have noticed that my diabetes is a lot harder to control. i have high blood sugar alot. i talked it through with my GP (who is very good), she did tests to make sure i was healthy in every other way and gaves my ways to get better control, but nothing has worked. sometimes i get good control for a while but then with the click of a switch it will all go wrong again.
...Does anyone know if the implant is known to cause trouble for diabetics???
the idea was that i could have the implant for 3 years and not have to worry about pregnancy or have any periods. before that i was on the injection for 3 years which they recommended i came off because i have been on it for so long.
i'm not in a relationship so i have thought about having it out anyway to get my body back to normal, but to be honest i'm a bit scared because my periods have always been terrible and i haven't had one in 4 years now so the thought of them starting again makes me feel sick.
anyone have any kind words or answers??
