Try not to worry. My opticians did exactly the same to me. Didn't say anything to me, just referred me. I go regularly for checks with them, yearly now. 6 months originally. It's standard now I think when someone has a close blood relative with glaucoma. They picked up other eye conditions which...

I triple checked the reading on 3 fingers to be sure x

Thank you both. I've been on it for a couple of years now.. On and off. My bloods have never been great but neither has my willpower. Anyway, been eating similar things over a few days. Low carbs. 1 Low calorie meal and 1 huel meal replacement. Been testing. Thought was working well till had...

Hi guys, quick question.. Has anyone ever known there blood sugars to rise on gliclazide? Eaten and drank same as yesterday..What else could it be.. I'm so confused x

Thanks @lovinglife , I appreciate all your help! X

That's very true. I'm a rubbish cook so I'm going to have to experiment a little and see what works/ is edible x

I'm using app but will try this on laptop tomorrow. Thank you x

Thank you. Yes I'm on gliclazide twice daily. I understand everyone is different and has different experiences, I was just very confused and still struggle to understand a lot of this despite being type 2 for about 7/8 years now. I've got to this point with short periods of success but mostly...

@lovinglife thank you very much. I need my profile changing but when I try to edit it, it just doesn't give me any options to change. I am type 2, medicated with gliclazide. I am unable to message admin also for some reason, maybe it's my phone.. But if anyone can help me out to update this, I'd...

Confused wht it says type 1, I'm type 2 x

Good morning everyone. I have a question. I am on 80mg x2 daily of gliclazide. Just made a morning drink and was about to take my gliclazide when I had a thought. If you are supposed to take this about 20 mins/ with food, how do you know if it's the gliclazide that's brought your numbers down...

I like to have salad but can't eat it dry and struggling to find a suitable dressing. Tried making my own but it didn't work out. I'm somewhat of a fussy eater and seem to stick to whatever is simple and quick. I think I need to broaden my options but so worried about failing.. again.. X

Thank you @lovinglife, I do test but need to do this more regularly to be honest. I've been off/on track so many times now, I'm having to relearn and research everything again. I've been sticking to below 10, some days nine at all, but have people telling me it's too low, and not sustainable...

Is the only way of knowing through finger prick testing, or is there a rough guide I can use. I've just looked at an online carb counting app, it says I should be on 9 carbs a day?? What's your opinions plz x

Ok, so trying again to get these blood sugars down and lose some weight in the process. . Going from your experience/knowledge, what's the best carb range to stick to? I want to be successful, but also need to be realistic. I'm finding myself eating the same things day in, day out... Which I...
