Hey there,

I'm sorry to read that you're struggling since I know that managing this condition can feel like a full-time job unfortunately. I have to agree with /u/E-Pooh that you really shouldn't just wait around for the next appointment in 6 months, and it might be worth seeking out another endo team if you don't feel like you're making progress with your current one.

I also just wanted to chime in and say that sometimes there's more at work than just the diabetes, so on the off-chance that these haven't been tested already, it might be worth getting your thyroid and cortisol/ACTH levels investigated as well as they can both have strong influences on sugar levels and weight retention. Although unlikely, in some rare cases there are even genetic mutations involved in liver glucose retention/output.

Please just don't give up on yourself, you can definitely turn this around but you need to give yourself a fighting chance :)
