hi,
been looking but can't find any answers to the question I have.
I have ben diagnosed with T1 LADA for just over 2 1/2 years now. I am the only T1 LADA on the GPs books so am a bit of an anomaly for him - doesn't quite know how to pigeon hole me!
I take 4 x 500mg Metformin a day (2 at breakfast, 2 with the evening meal) and 1 x 100mg of sitagliptin on a morning. Up until about 2 weeks back all was ok, but then I caught a head cold and that sort of wiped me out. Little or know energy.
2 weeks on and the head-cold is still there, I am still tired and achey, but my last 2 days of pin prick tests show 10.5 and 11.1 mmol/L on my Freestyle Libre. I tested for Ketone (as advised by the nurse on initial diagnosis should I reach double figures) but this sits at 0.2mmol/L .
Should I be going to A&E, the diabetic clinic , the GP or is it likely that it will resolve itself should my cold have the good grace to go away?
thoughts / comments welcomed
