Hi guys, I’m kind of new to the whole forum world so apologies if it has already been spoken about.
So I was diagnosed with type 2 in October 2018. My hba1c was 87 when I was first diagnosed, 3 month review went down to 74 then to 60. On my last review it had gone up to 74 I weighed 17stone 7 I’m now 14stone 2 and still going. Target is 11. I walk 1.4 miles every day. I have 3 meals a day.healthier meals and smaller portions, but no matter what I did or how I ate or exercised I could wake up and my blood sugar was 13’s or 14’s I felt fine but obviously I know this is not good.i noticed I started getting higher readings after been put on 2 gliclazide in a morning and 2 at tea time.before I was only one in a morning and one at tea time and my readings weren’t great but they was 9 and 10’s.. I’m on metformin 2 in a morning and 2 at night. So after my hba1c been 74 I have now been put on jardiance.10mg once a day. And wow I feel ropey, I feel dizzy, tired sick but my blood sugars in a morning and throughout the day are way better. 7.5 in a morning and round about 10 after eating so definitely better, I just wondered if it’s my body adjusting to lower blood sugar it’s not used to or if it’s a side effect. Has anyone else been on them and if you had or still have side effects. My anxiety is through the roof
Sorry it’s so long.
