Fantastic - well done on getting control :-) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Definitely put a complaint in. Not her place or position to be saying that to you. Goes against the Drs advice. Don't let her words get put you down. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

That seems very strange advice, but I am sure she knows what she is doing. Me personally would be increasing the insulin and adding in a tablet to help reduce the blood sugars in the short term. Good luck at your appointment and let us know what she does. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Great drop in bloods and weight loss - well done :-) x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Your Dr is an ass! Stupid man! It's obvious that you are getting high blood sugar readings and you have the symptoms. Type II's are definitely treated unfairly, and better education for the Drs/Nurses is needed. What is your next step? Take care. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi Steve, I use Nov 30. Your not on a high dose so I would be tempted to increase it and decrease your carbs. Not sure why your DSN suggested it the other way as that wouldn't work. Did she suggest anything else if they were to take you off the Nov 30? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Well done on getting your head around it so quickly - it sounds like you are going in the right direction :-)

In respect of medication then each person is different. One Type 2 person can control this by diet alone, but others like me, have to take medication. I started on Metformin 17 years ago, I am now on Metformin, insulin and other meds. Then again I have other medical problems which caused the...

1.8 - jeez that is really low :-( Can you contact your Dr's surgery by phone today? Do you have a number for your DSN? I'm not saying you should stop your meds, but something is definitely wrong and you need to do something today and not wait till you see your Nurse on Friday. You are in a...

It appears you are definitely on too much medication - readings of below 4 are not good - regardless of what the HCA has said. BUT I would not just stop taking it however I think the 320 mg Gliclazide is too much and should definitely be reduced. There is no point in treating your hypos with...

Done
