Hi All. I am type 2 on Metformin 4x500mg per day, linagliptin 1 daily and most recently put on glicazide as my HBA1c went from 63 in Dec to 78 beginning of March. The nurse has given me a blood glucose monitor as I’ve been put on glicazide. I have only had the meter since Wednesday and testing...

Well my review with the news went ok this morning. My HBA1c has gone from 64 to 63 so only 1 down but it’s down. Advised to review my eating and excersize and go back in 6 months. I was diagnosed 4 years ago with HBA1C of 48 put on metformin 4 per day. Got given linagliptin last July.
