[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 642918, member: 66676"] Hi there [USER=130312]@Dstream[/USER] Sorry to hear about your current troubles; the symptoms you describe sound like LADA (Latent Autoimmune Disease in Adults), which is sometimes known as Type1.5. Essentially, a form of Type 1 that occurs in people over 40. The blood tests will have been taken to determine what sort of diabetes you have: the metformin was given as a intermediary med owing to your high BGs, as they daren't issue insulin first without the results. However, your body may also be in a state of flux - still producing insulin in fits and starts, hence the crash to 4mmol one day, and another you described as being normal, whilst other days you're barely able to stand. Are you 'home alone' or do you live with people? You need to keep your phone to hand, and I do strongly suggest you call your GP for an emergency appointment first thing tomorrow telling him/her everything you've said in your opening post. If you feel worse as the evening progresses, you should call 999 and go to A&E. [/QUOTE]
