In March I was in hospital with DKA and sepsis, I was sent home on Metformin. My waking BS is never under 10 and goes up as high s 18 despite a low carb diet of as close as 20g I can
In March my HBa1c was 7.2% 55.2mmol
Over last few weeks they have tried increasing my Metformin to 2 tablets twice a day which has made no difference to my BS but a repeat HBa1c done yesterday is 5.2% 33.3mmol which was done because I needed another blood test.
The doctor is ringing Thursday but I’m very confused, before going into hospital in March I had no sign of diabetes and they say it’s related to steroids and kidney problems. Could the Metformin be working despite not changing my daily BS’s (they were expecting to discharge me on insulin but decided to try Metformin first)
I am confused!
