Hi all
I had been diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus 2 years back with high sugar levels of 330 (PP) and 643(random). I had symptoms (realised later) of weightloss, leg cramps and tiredness.
The type of diabetes could not been diagnosed as teratment with insulin was started immediately.
Since then I was under Novmix30 - 20 units daily. With balanced diets, controlled carbohydrates and sugar intake, the sugar levels were under control and HBa1C count between 6-7%.
However 6 months back, the sugar levels had started to rise and HBA1c had alsod increased to 8%. There had not been any change in lifetyle that could cause this. While I was advised to increase the insulin intake, it did not help. Then my diabetologist, introduced Glimisave m2 and gradually reduced insulin. This has significantly improved the sugar levels and its almost normal now.
Recently, on a routine medical chek up, the medical practitioner advised that I should stop Glimisave immediately as it is harmful for the beta cells.
I would like to have information
1. Is ther eany means to find out now whether I am type 1 /2
2. Is Glimisave harmful for pancreas
