I have been told recently that tablets are no longer controlling my type 2 being a hgv driver it would mean the loss of my licence and my employment if I use insulin by injection I have decided to try a more regimental diet and exercise plan to see if I can control it befor I accept insulin treatment I would like to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience

Hi,
I have a good friend who recently had his leg taken off due to diabetes, he is now on insulin and continues to drive a merc van all over Scotland i know its much more difficult in a truck but dont give up and i hope the exercise enables you to continue on the tabs...........

i understand the need for you to keep your license, the tablets you take will only reduce your bg levels by a minimal amount. i would suggest you reduce your carbohydrate intake, use a bg meter to test what is happening. i managed to almost halve my HbA1c by drastically cutting down on all bread, rice pasta and potatoes. a word of warning tho, talk to your doctor first as you may need to lower your medication to avoid going hypo.
i will be honest with you, i am not a fan of NHS advice regarding the advice to diabetics, i deteriorated for 6 years until i started my own research.
