Newly diagnosed with fasting levels of 20+, thirst and nausea. Now on gliclazide and metformin twice daily.
I have been following a low carb diet since diagnosis and my readings seem to be consistently around 11(11.9 on waking this morning). Yesterday I wanted to see what effect having granola would do to my levels. Within 45 minutes blood sugar went from 10.9 to 18.9 and I felt really nauseous and had epigastric pain. I felt nauseous all day.
I went to the Drs. She told me off for checking too often and that my feelings were probably down to anxiety or a bug, and that I was doing really well getting my readings down to 11. I asked about the possibility of it being LADA (due to having other autoimmune problems) She said it's quite likely.
Feeling a lot better this morning. What can I do to get my levels down?
