Hi I was also diagnosed just before Xmas and am on 500mg of Metaformin SR once a day for 20 days. I've cut sugar and changed my diet significantly. My BGL was 17.8 and the lowest it has gone is 10.3. My doctor wants to see me in 3 months, should I go sooner if my BGL doesn't drop. When I find myself getting that hungry nausea feeling and when I test my blood it's still in the 12's.Hi I am newly diagnosed at beginning of December was put straight on to gliclazide one pill in morning but wasn't bringing my bg down now on 2 a day I'm morning and evening it's all a bit confusing as lack of information from doc and diabetes nurse learned more from dietitian heard about this forum thought I would give it a go so hear it am and hello to everyone
