Hello Everyone,
I am brand new to the forum and I hope it's ok to ask for some advice.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 14 months ago, I am diet controlled and I have been doing ok until the last 5 weeks or so.
My Ha counts have been 7 7.1 and the last one two months ago was 7.9, the diabetic nurse put the increase down to me getting married in May and putting 2lb in weight on ?!
I was told to not test my blood sugar levels and to carry on with the diet I was following, which is basically eating healthier and cutting out biscuits/crisps/cakes and chocolate all the best things !!
However over the last 5 weeks I have been feeling quite poorly, very thirsty, weeing an awful lot over 45 times a day and gallons of it ..... I feel very tired, nauseous, breathless, muscle cramping and confused and really out of sorts. I thought due to the fact I was thirsty etc it would be a good idea to check my bs levels and they seemed to be a little high, morning waking was 15.5 and they were going up to 23.4, I went to the doctors and I tested positive for glucose/protein something else, possible infection but no ketones ? I had a course of antibiotics and while I am not weeing quite so much I still feel awful, my morning levels have been 17/19.5 and I have just checked my levels an hour after my breakfast and they are 27.4 The gp didn't seem that interested in my sugar levels and hasn't suggested following it up, should I be worried ?
Thanks for any advice
