Hi everyone, about 4 weeks ago I was diagnosed with type two. My hba1c was 64. They initially started my on metformin 500mg twice daily, however my sugars were so high that the GP has now started me on Gliclizide and just this past week novomix 30 twice daily (6 units in the morning and same evening).
I have some questions please, my blood sugars despite all the above are still hitting 13,14 etc. I had my first hypo the other day and felt awful, shaking, sweating etc. Had some lucozade and the sugars came up again. Could it be that I'm not getting enough insulin? That my figures are still high?
I walk my dog everyday twice or three times and am making improvements to my diet. My GP has said that he suspects I may have something called LADA? I've looked this up and it seems like it's a late onset type 1?
Also is my hba1c high? At 64? My GP is useless and I'm waiting to see a diabetic nurse but have to wait two months
Thanks in advance
Paul
