i'm type 2 diabetic.and i only found out when 2 weeks ago i was admitted to hospital after suffering my first major seizure.
I was told the seizure happened because my glucose level was through the roof,i have seen my diabetic nurse, but to date i have not received a glucose monitor (which i thought i should have to keep an eye on the levels) but i have been told by the nurse i do not need one because i am not on medication, but have read that it is essential, so you can imagine how confused i am feeling
I am due to see my doctor on Monday should i discuss this with her.
should i have a glucose monitor, should i insist. Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated
thankyou Recyclequeen
