There's a lot to learn. Do you monitor your Blood Glucose?
I find that doing my own research is essential. Doctors know very little and can give bad advice. My last doctor rolled his eyes (meaning: who does this ignoranous think he is?) when I first told him I would find out all I need. He told me very little and the three dieticians that I saw were useless. A year later he admitted to a new doctor in the surgery that I knew more than he did.
The best diabetic doctor is a doctor with diabetes.
So "I just take the tablets" sounds like it's the doctors responsibility to control your disease. The responsibility should be yours. Diabetics usually live a long life if the BG is kept under control. But they can and usually do die from diabetic complications ("problems" you call them).
