Hi guys,
I just thought that I'd share something.
I have had real difficulty getting any sort of stability with my blood sugars and for the last 6 months they have been stuck at around 12 - 14 (agh!)
Anyway, new doctor last week, who actually took me seriously.
As well as 4 x 500mg metformin daily I am now also taking one little tiny glymiperide (excuse the spelling)
Testing on the second day and ... AND ...
6.8!
Yesterday 7,2
Today 6. 8
I was very reluctant to take another tablet, especially as I thought I'd been told that this one doesn't help weight loss.
However, I can say that, for the first time in months I feel quite a bit better in myself - you know how at times you just "don't feel well" but can't explain how?
So, I hope this might encourage others who are finding it difficult - a new pair of medical eyes can really be a help.
Take care all.
