I asked to be referred because my BS have gone haywire and nothing is working. I am not overweight and do moderate exercise daily - housework, walking with set goal of 7000 steps a day - sometimes plus, sometimes not. Metformin upped to double last Dec - now on 2000g per day.
My high BS were around 10 - 12 - when I got back from holiday with severe jet lag - they made all time high of 23! Guess not good time to check. But every day fasting check each morning at around 17! Now I'm trying no carbing as of yesterday - but so hungry! My BMI is 21 btw - retired Lecturer and weight 9.5 stone.
Now I feel I am showing signs of neuropathy - legs and feet throbbing, burning. Pain in lower back - hips - thighs area and some loss of feeling - all exacerbated by walking.
