Many of you will recognise my rent posts in my bid to lower blood my blood sugars. Tried 16:8 diet - made no difference. As good as carb free - makes no difference. Last ditch attempt - looking at upping gliclozide - currently on 1 in morning and 1 in evening before food. DBN wants me to randomly test over next couple of weeks to decide where to increase, if that improve my FBG then I guess I have to concede that I need insulin.
I have been struggling with kidney infections on and off for a while now. Latest antibiotics made me violently ill and I had to stop taking (Mactobid) so have to start on a new course, had the worse cold ever, nearly 4 weeks to get over completely - now another kidney infection. Of course, diabetes causes kidney infections and they raise my BGs - catch 22. Metformin contributed to my kidney damage so had to drop that.
I guess what I'm for is advice on the transition onto insulin, all looks so complicated.
