[QUOTE="clairebear13, post: 257099, member: 42587"] I was diagnosed in September 2011 as type 2 diabetic (early stages), I was put on a diet and weightloss measure to see if it would improve my levels. I lost 2 stone in 3 months and levels were average 8-10. Unfortunately in December I got flu which pushed my bloods to 12-17. I was passed over from my GP to a Diabetic Nurse. He instantly stuck me on Metformin 1 a day and then 2 a day. These got me down again between 8-10, but couldn't handle the stomach upsets (severe diarreha) so he tried me on Glucophage, 2 a day. These got me down to 7-9. But again bad on the stomach upsets. I have a tender stomach and did say this was the reason I thought I would have problems if I had to go on tablets. Now he has stuck me on Gliclazide 2 a day. I was on 40mg x 2, and now on 80mg and 40mg - but I don't know whats going on???? My levels are constantly between 11-17. And when I do eat something bad WOW!!! I got to 25 the other day! I went straight to the Diabetic nurse and he said he wanted to put me straight on insulin? This surprised me alot, as it seems only since I have been on these tabs, my levels have been through the roof? I thought I would be dropping down to about 5 because they are meant to make you pancreas work.... has anyone else had issues with them? As I don't think I am at the point of insulin, as my levels drop by nearly half given a hours difference and exercise: Example only: 12pm eat lunch, 2pm levels are 14, 3pm with a few times up the stairs 8 Can anyone provide advice? As my diabetic nurse I have found out is not really fully fledged diabetic nurse, and I would like to know some more before being asked to get referred to see an endo doctor. As currently only see the nurse and GP. My concern too is I am only 27 years old. [/QUOTE]
