Amlodopin 1x5mg
2000mg Metformin , 1000 morning and evening
Hi Can I just ask if other people's BGl evels go up when they are ill ? Or stressed ??
I had managed to get mine pretty much under control by Low carb eating but in the past two and a half weeks , I have had a really bad virus, chesty cough and cold . I am panicking because I can't seem to get my BG's down below 7 !! I have had readings as high as 10 and 12 . I am worried , but mainly because there has been now sneaky food cheating involved . I am desperate NOT to go onto Glyclizide and my nurse is supporting me in this as long as my levels stay ok . This is NOT going to happen if I keep getting these readings . Any advice please ? Should I contact my nurse or ride it out . I have to say that it is stressing me out though .
