I am not one to visit or use such forums much, but thought it might be helpful to start here. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago, but have had little success finding help in the medical community. I have Hep C and that tends to distract them. They seem to want to focus on that rather than helping me with my blood sugar issues. I am dismayed by what seems to be a wait and see attitude. I go in, we talk, they give me Rx and say "come back in 3 (or for one, 6) months, at which time they do an A1c, and give me the same instructions. Come back in 3/6 months. So far, after 3 years and 4 doctors, I'm no better controlled than before. I am on Glipizide and Junevia, with some Lisinopril for my BP issues... these have been the standards for 2 years now. I am very discouraged and frightened. I am having other problems now. My PCP told me he'd refer me to an endocrinologist, but that was almost 2 weeks ago, and I am still waiting. They are in no hurry, but in the meantime, I am now experiencing spells of dizziness that do not seem to correspond to my BG or BP. But that's what they are focusing on...
So, here I am, ready to review this site, hoping to find some ideas and information.
