Hi, I've been T2 since 2003 and struggling
I had a gastric bypass privately in 2011 to get rid of my insulin as I couldn't tolerate injecting daily and for 9 yrs I was insulin-free until this past year. I have been told by a consultant my pancreas is deteriorating and tests have shown this. but recently my sugars went as high over 31 and I was put back on insulin. These past two weeks I was given a libre to try by my nurse and it's recorded my sugar levels have gone down overnight to 2.6 the lowest I don't seem to get any signs anymore like I used to like shaking getting hot I get nothing at all. I'm getting worried that my pancreas is not producing any insulin now. and I'm worried this is going to turn into T1 anyone had this? I have been told that I cannot have a libre from my GP even though I was using it to carb count also as my ratio was 1 to 10 but I've not taken any nova rapid with meals as the readings have been too low.
any help or advise
