Hi again all and thanks for your replies. I will have my next HBA1C in 3 months and go back to see the DN then unless there's any problems with the new medication. I was a bit lightheaded last night but I know that could be for any number of reasons, including going back onto a low carb diet...

Hi everyone, Thank you all so much for your support and advice, it really is very much appreciated. Just a wee update as to what happened to day with the DN, she was very nice, pretty no-nonsense but that's a good thing sometimes. I explained everything that's been happening with my blood...

Hi everyone, Thank you for your replies, sorry it's taken me a while to get back, this whole situation has really done a number on my mental health which probably isn't helping things. I decided not to take the Glicazide until I speak to my DN, it just scares me too much. I still don't have...

Hi everyone, I've started a new thread for this (don't know if this is the right thing or not?) as I really need some advice after speaking to GP today. My blood sugars have been high over the last 9 days, highest being around 18 and much higher every day than they've ever been since I was...

Thank you for your reply, I just tested again at 7pm, hadn't had anything else to eat since the bacon and eggs earlier (was talking to a friend on the phone for ages!), and realised I was feeling light headed. So I didn't eat for over 6 hours, reading was 7.5, big difference. So it would seem...

Hi again everyone, I'm still experiencing high blood sugar levels, today I've had scrambled eggs with bacon and a slice of wholemeal toast for breakfast and blood sugar after 2 hours was 13.6, was the same yesterday. In the last week I've only had 2 readings under 10. I think I'll need to...

Yes, it was a huge relief to see single digits after that meal, it was my test meal because any time I've had it my bloods have been really good, sometimes even decreasing from pre meal readings, so if it had still been very high I would have been really concerned. The antibiotics they've put me...

Thank you all for your replies and advice, I've started on my antibiotic this afternoon, blood sugar at lunchtime after 2 boiled eggs and a piece of wholemeal toast was 12.2. Had a very big almost carb free (but not fat free!) dinner tonight, tested after 2 hours and bloods are 8.6, I know...

Yes it's always small Warburton's wholemeal bread I use, bloods tonight 2 hours after dinner were 11.6, better to than earlier but still way too high. I'm not actually getting my antibiotic until tomorrow, not ready until then and I didn't hand in a urine sample, GP just decided to give me an...

Hello, Yes, my GP surgery also has the 8am appt's, but for emergencies only. I'm now starting to wonder if I should call for an emergency appt though, my bloods first thing this morning were 11.2, I didn't eat until lunchtime when I had 2 scrambled eggs with a slice of wholemeal toast (9...

Thank you, and I know I need to try not to overthink and worry constantly. It's been several months now of daily really quite bad pain and I need to continue to have patience while the Dr"s try to figure out what's happening. I'm going to try really hard to get back on my low carb diet which I...

Yes it's been a long wait for all these tests, I'm still waiting on the results from my CT scan as well. I'm with Lanarkshire Health Board, I asked today for a possible tel appt with the DN but couldn't get that either. My blood sugars aren't coming down and I've been super careful eating today...

Just an update, blood sugar at 7:30 this morning was 11.6, spoke to GP, mentioned to her about the high readings, she wasn't overly concerned but told me to keep an eye on it, radically improve my diet and call for an appt with DN. She told me from all the ECG's I've had done they've shown I...

Just tested again, bloods now at 12.7, still not good but a lot better than the 17.3 earlier. Hopefully they'll go continue to come down. Maggie

Thank you, that was the first thing I was concerned about when I saw those blood sugar readings. If they're still as high when I test again It'll call 111 just to be on the safe at side. Maggie
