I've had type 2 for 2 years with ac1 of 48 and put on 500mg metformin 3 times a day. Eyes ok, feet ok. Cut out alcohol and cut down on sugar, bread etc. but next bloods showed ac1 of 65. Doc didn't believe I'd tried so put me on glicazide. Doc also did this over phone and I'd not seen this one since diagnosis. Now have hypos a couple of times a week. Bought myself glucose test kit and recording results. They are all over the place from really low to 9.7 and I don't know where to go from here. My docs still not seeing most people, I'm overdue two blood tests, no idea what's best if glucose is low or high. Any and all advise welcome. NB went from normal to diabetic in less than a year with no prediabetes!
