After 10 months of feeling unwell, losing weight and my confidence, I now have energy and feel as though I am getting my life back! My blood glucose levels failed to come down even with increasing doses of medication so it was decided by my consultant and GP that I should begin insulin. No one could tell me whether I am Type 1 or 2 diabetic but Michelle (Lead diabetes Specialist Nurse) made it clear that the only important thing was that I feel well. So far I have had 2 appointments at the Cavendish Hospital, Buxton. The first was over 1 hour long and I left feeling confident that my health would improve. Michelle gave me all the information I needed and more importantly, the reassurance that I could cope. The dose she suggested is working well and my bgl is now in the 'normal' range. I hope everyone has such a positive experience as I have had.
