Terribble Information

[Openmouthinsertfood]

Has anyone else had terrible information, or lack of at all, and just left to get on with it? I was diagnosed with type 2 in 2019 and have been on metformin since then. It was only afew weeks ago that I was talking to a nurse and she told me not to take Metformin when feeling ill. I never knew this and told her that and she said it was surprising how many people said that to her.
I have been really trying to cut down my carbs lately as they're the enemy of diabetes right? Well a few months ago I was started on Dapaglifozin, never told anything about it. Just reading a thread in here about it and a poster has warned you aren't supposed to go low carb on it!
Does anyone else find a lack of information?

Did you not read the information leaflet that comes with every box of metformin? It tells you that in there

Might sound harsh but you need to take some responsibility for your condition, nurses can’t possibly tell you everything some of it you need to educate yourself.

it’s your diabetes, you are the only one that manages it, not any medical professionals. It’s up to you how much you want to learn about how best to manage it

if you want to learn more have you worked through the information and learning zone on diabetes uk? Joined in the forums there?
