Good morning to one and all!
I thought it was high time I posted a quick update
It has been a very busy time for us... We have been getting the house ready to go on the market and my mrs has been run off her poor wee feet at work!
I am now maxed out on my Glicazide and bloods have came down a bit. From an average of 22 they now level out at 14! Still far too high! I have started to get more exercise and have noticed it can really play havoc with my bloods, after taking up walking again I have found that after an hour of medium hill walking my glucose level crashes from 18ish to 3.6-3.9 I am sure this is just because I am burning up a lot of energy and hope this will sort its self out as I get back into the rhythm of walking. They are fine on flat walks, even 10 mile plus, lol they just don't like hills!
I am due to see my nurse on the 28th for a review, at the last appointment she said I was maxed out with my currant medication and she is sure that they will need to add another "agent" to get my levels down. I asked what the other agent is but she needs to speak to the doctor before deciding.
So my question is... Will it be another tablet or does it look like I will be moving to needles?
Thanks
