Hi all
I haven't posted very much on the forum before, but I need some help.
I had a total hysterectomy 3 months ago and thought I was recovering well, but despite taking maximum dose of Metformin, Gliclazide and injecting with Humulin twice a day my fasting sugar has gone up from an OK 6-7 to 12-15. I've been gradually taking out the carbs (still can't quite give up bread), eating healthily and building up the amount of exercise I do (although this has been limited to walking and swimming since undergoing the op). The increase coincided with going back to work part time so stress could be a factor. Increasing the amount of insulin however, just doesn't seem to fix it and I can't work out why - I've been injecting more and more and the fasting rate just won't budge. My diabetes nurse promised a call back 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting, can't get another appointment until next week so getting really frustrated.
Has anybody else noticed an after-effect on sugar levels after hysterectomy? Could changing hormone levels really have this effect?
