It’s been a while since I’ve posted , was diagnosed October 2017 and since then been trying to get a grip with this condition...initially prescribed 2 x 500mg metformin a day...after 3 months HbA1c dropped to 83 from 95 so then onto 4 x 500mg per day..three months later, despite feeling better HbA1c dropped to 80 so then prescribed gliclazide 1 x 40mg once a day...stopped eating the bad things bread, rice pasta etc and try to low carb during the day but evening meals may be letting me down...anyway numbers over the last few weeks have been encouraging 6.3 mmol being the lowest but this week creeping back to 10.8...I’ve only done the one fasting meter reading and that was 10.8
I’m also 9st 8 with a bmi bordering on the lean side so weight has never been an issue, question is with all this medication and better eating should mmol numbers be nearer the 5.5/6 ???
