No, i just stopped the midday tablet.

Absolutely nothing has changed. I eat the same food, have had no illnesses. My blood sugars have been the same for a year, since diagnosis, when i changed everything. The test i do is when i wake in the mornings. I have taken 3 x 500 Metformin for a year, the recent change takes me to 2 x 500. I...

Dentist saw nothing wrong.

Dr. reduced Metformin 2 weeks ago from 3 a day to 2, because my stats were so good. My blood sugar test in the mornings has gone from usually 5-6 up to 8-11. Would this be because of the lower dose? Do you think i should just carry on or go back to Dr.?

Dental check up next wednesday.

Raised cholesterol may be because i eat more meat now, I dont know. As long as its not over 5 ! I see the Diabetes Nurse next week so i have not had a reaction yet

Just had yearly bloods done and am down to 42. Cholesterol up from 3 to 4 although i am on Statins. Thank you all for your advice re sore tongue. Will see my Dr. soon. They are always booked up!

Just coming up to my first year as type 2. Got check-up next Monday. Weight loss over the year 2 stone. I seem stuck at this weight now. I stopped daily testing some months ago as the results were always the same, 5-8, i was happy with that. The one problem i do have though is that for the past...

Not been here for a few weeks but i thought i would share my good news. Diagnosed 6 months ago. Blood test was 73. Three months later it was 58. Today, three months on, bloods are 47. My Doctor was so pleased with me. It has not been as hard as i expected. I still sneak 'naughty' foods in...

I eat peaches plums and strawberries everyday and my stats are still dropping. I suppose we are all different.

No secret. Low carb diet. No exercise as i am disabled. I assume it was an initial drop due to diet changes and Metformin. I dont really understand how it can drop lower if i continue to do the same thing. Lost a stone in weight but thats very difficult to maintain. Christmas is coming and Tanis...

Had my check-up tonight with Dr. Its my first 3 month blood test since i was diagnosed in September. Then it was 73. 3 months on and its 54!. She was so pleased for me. She said it usually takes quite a few drops before it gets that low, so i have been a good girl, lol. Next test in March and i...

I get the results of my second blood test tomorrow. 3 months since diagnoses. I am worried my results wont have gone down (73 first time). On 500mg Metformin 3 times a day and testing 4 times a day. I never seem to get low results, always between 7 and 10. I am finding the diet very depressing...

7.6 Been in the 7s and 8s for a week now.

Three times i have asked for testing equipment but have been told no as i am on Metformin and not at risk of hypos. I want to test for ME! I need to know what my body is doing. I need to know my triggers. So i bought my own equipment and test 3 times a day. It helps me so much. It is my body and...
