All very useful advise, but I'm not good with taking any medications. I try to be disciplined but fail miserably taking them on time in the right order. I could do with the blister packs that the chemist makes up.
Does anyone know if you can request them?.
My meals are erratic because I can't organise my day. So I'm my own worst enemy. My regime is taking thyroxine 20mins before breakfast (porridge with prunes and hovis granary whole meal bread butter and low sugar marmalade). At which point I take Trajenta.
I normally skip lunch and snack in the afternoon and try to remember to take Steraline.
Evening meals are a problem because I don't really have an appetite. My doctor says I can take the statins before bed.
Where can I get help, living alone doesn't help either.
 
If the chemist won't do blister packs (I'm not sure if there's criteria ie doctors authorisation) you can buy dosette boxes and put them in your self and at least you'd know if you'd taken all your daily doses.

Unfortunately Doctors don't always agree with each other.
Do you use a regular Pharmacy? You could start by asking them about the blister packs of drugs. I know mine do do it but I don't know what the criteria is. I suspect like everything else it varies.
 
Don't give up. Look on it as an opportunity to get into tip top shape. The way to eat with diabetes is only how we should be eating anyway. All the stuff with sugar in it is bad for us, whether we have diabetes or not. Rots the teeth, gives you heart disease, makes you spotty! 😉 Just eat naturally. My main way of thinking is if it's in any way packaged you can bet your life they've messed about with it and stuck sugar in it to make it more palatable and to sell more so they can make money. I don't even go down those aisles in the supermarket. Unwrapped foods, go for those...meats, fish, vegetables, eggs, cheese, fruits when you have your bloods under control, start with berries.
