Hi,
Hope this works as never used the forum before. I need advice, I was diagnosed with type 2 last September. I am now on max dose of metformin a day and my sugar level is still in double figures. I have cut out on chocolates, puddings, sweets in fact most things with sugar in it but the levels still wont reduce. Was ill over Christmas and new year when levels rose to a staggering 18. I have started testing myself first thing in the morning before eating, even though my doctors dont agree with self testing but i am at my wits end. I want to stabilise and control my blood sugars because i dont obviously want to end up with the bad side effects.
Help
Ruth
