[QUOTE="Nick.., post: 891015, member: 192064"] Hi, just a quick update on my mmo/l levels.... I know it's the significant amount of metformin I'm taking (and temporarily 1 glyclazide per day) but my levels have fallen from 26 last weekend to 8.9 just now I change my diet the instant I was diagnosed (though it's nowhere near as healthy as most people here), and I think the metformin is a bit of an appetite suppressant? but I have unreal levels of energy at the moment Of course the thirst and too many visits to the loo was a nice thing to lose, but the amount of energy I have is incredible a few weeks ago I'd wake on a weekend and be lethargic, do a bit of work in the garden and come in and snooze I've done bodyweight circuit training every other day this week, and some walking on the other days. exercised this morning, worked in the garden in the heat all afternoon, and I feel wide awake and am looking around for more jobs to do! I think I'm probably eating around 2,000 calories per day, which is clearly not a low calorie diet, but as I'm so big I think I will see a lot of weight loss from the change in diet, reduction in calories and increased exercise I think I must have had high blood sugars for some time, because it's been a long time since I felt this good If my blood sugars get to a normal level by my next doctors visit, can anyone suggest what might happen next? I assume they'll drop my dosage and remove the glyclazide (i have one month's worth) If I lose a lot of weight over the coming months, is it likely they'd try me without any drugs? [/QUOTE]
