Hello, I was diagnosed with Diabetes in early December. It started off with needing to visit the toilet 7 times a night but feeling constantly dehydrated. I know I am overweight for my height and suspected it was diabetic. I contacted my GP and was sent for a blood test. About 2 weeks later I had an appointment with a diabetic nurse and was supplied with a glucose machine and put on tablets ( gliclazide) . Initially my glucose libels wouldn’t register on the machine, it came up as ‘hi’.
A few days after taking tablets i had a reading of 32.7. I have since been taking regular readings, lowest being 17. I was lng supplied with much info and haven’t been advised what range the reading should be until. Do these readings seem high for someone with newly diagnosed diabetes?
Since being diagnosed with diabetes I have watched what I have eaten and drunk and have lost 2 stone in weight. I go for walks each day. I am feeling a lot healthier than I was and my clothes are too big and my trousers have fallen down. Just concerned that my readings are too high and how I can bring them down further?
