confused??

i seem to be having 1 or 2 problems, been on slow release metformin since may, as ordinary metformin was causing problems, milk wise im drinking around 3pints a day and about 2-3 litres of water on top, been diabetic since 2005 and seem to be going the same way as before i found out i was diabetic, thirsty all the time and peeing a lot more in the last month or so,
got the drs on friday for my next 6 month checkup, did a blood test this morning and according to my meter it went off the scale (over 27.5), usually im around 7-9 so dont know where the 27.5 came from (mind you i did eat a choc orange last night so this hasnt helped :shh: )
will try another test later and hope its wrong

Hi Kevin and welcome to the forum

Milk is quite high in carbs Kevin and will generally shoot your bg levels up, 3 pints is around 75g of carbs, I only eat between 80g and 130g a day and some members here would consider that high so your milk fest will not help keep your levels under control. If I were you I would stick to water
