Hello, Ive been T2 for 12 years now (im 53). Have been taking 4xslow release metformin for a few years and i low carb.
So my numbers have been going up but the last couple 3 weeks or so im really struggling. For example for breakfast i had a sausage, 2 bacon and 2 eggs. Lunch 2 pieces of cooked chicken (.2 carbs and sugars) and a handful of blueberries. I come home having not eaten for 6 hours and my score is 10.6. It used to be around the 6/7 mark not so long ago. I also have some hands and feet issues and my balance doesn't feel right. Developed raging tinnitus firs thing in the morning too.
Im thinking that im approaching T1. Spoke to docs, switched to normal metformin and got a blood test (in two weeks its rubbish here trying to get to see a doc these days). Anyone any views on this? Is this really bad or am I overreacting?
Much thanks
