Hey I have been Type 2 for 7 years and the past 2 years have had great control. A1c around 6 each time. The past couple days I have felt really off. I’m very thirsty, sweating but normal temperature, very lethargic and a bit light headed. After brekkie and all meds (Metformin, Sitigliptin and...

Hello everyone I'm type 2 diagnosed in June, fasting bloods were 13.5 then and now are 10.8 so still not good. I'm on 2000mg Metformin and just started on Gliclazide. I'm only on one a day at breakfast at the minute. The past 2 days I've had hypo symptoms around lunchtime. I recognise these...

Thank you for your suggestions x

Thank you all for your replies. I'm off to see a specialist dietician next week so that will be interesting. Despite having 3 bouts of gestational diabetes in the last 9 years no one has really discussed diet management. Whilst pregnant I was on insulin and basically told to inject to match...

Hello all I was diagnosed in June (type 2) Straight away I was put on to 1000mg Metformin which was them increased to 2000mg in August. After Chatting with my GP I'm confused. First off he said just eat a normal diet, secondly said there was no reason for me to be testing my levels and thirdly...

Good morning everyone, and thank you for the warm welcome. You have all been so helpful :) I'm waiting on a call back from my GP to try and get my bloods done before my appt, so as not to waste another month or so. I'm just hoping they are going to take me seriously and not think I'm a...

Hi This is my first time posting. I hope I'm not going to sound silly. I have had 3 bouts of Gestational Diabetes with all of my pregnancies. With all 3 it was insulin controlled. I was warned I had a very high chance of developing type 2 at any point. This point I'm sure has arrived. I've...
