Hi my original reading 7 years ago was 126!!!! I got this down to 46 at one point diet only. It's been around 55 for a year or so. I do test regularly with reading from 7 to 14 late and around 8 on a morning. I regularly go the gym, swim cycle. Really active. Just depressing when get result...

I think he is wanting me to get levels down to manageable level. Then reassess. I already do low carb and I keep regular diary of what I'm having. I eat thinks like tuna salad, chicken with broccolli rice etc etc. It's really frustrating. The other thing that is on my mind is that we have been...

Thanks @woollygal any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've got appointment in march to see the diabetes nurse

My doctor has said that need to try new injection based medication as my hba1c is too high at 63. I agree as no tablet seems to be working or gives me side effects. It's not insulin but this https://www.trulicity.com/ Has anyone got any experience of this?

Hi only was on Metformin for a week or two. I can't tolerate it body rejects it

Don't use sweetners, but veg wise I always eat low carb like broccolli or spinach. Gravy / sauce tend to make my own so low again. I'm not sure but will keep more closer eye on things. Probably give statins boot after next bloods for a month or rwo

Yes I do test after meals, doesn't matter what it is tbh, usually 4 or 5 higher. I do keep a spreadsheet to track and there really is no pattern. Other than drug changes over recent times

It's the highs that are concerning I've been as high as 15. I could try cutting out the coffee, but I don't think that is the problem. I think I will wait til after my next bloods to cut out the stations tbh. The main reason I think is that my dad had heart attack and we use the same doctors so...

My blood sugar levels don't ever seem to be lower than 7 at the moment no matter what time of the day it is. I have seen the doctor and he has changed my meds again, thin time to xelevia which was changed from glicazide as I was having a reaction to them. (Itchiness argh terrible) I also take...

Thanks, can't wait to get shut [emoji1]

Well the doctor changed me over to xelevia. Will wait til the itching has gone. Hopefully won't be that long it's driving me mad

I spoke to the doctor yesterday, going to see her on thursday. She told me the issue isn't likely to be the gliclazide because I have been on it a while and side effects usually come out quicker. Not confinced, I know what my body is like with drugs. I was off them since friday and the...

I've been doing some reading and it appears to be one of the side effects you can get. I'm off to doctors next week so hopefully he can shed light on it

I have been switched to gliclazide for a month or two now. Over the past couple of weeks I have been experiencing itchy back and stomach, is this a known side effect? Has anyone else experienced this?

Getting to 45g per day is hard work. Especially when there are lots of hidden items and it's never an exact science

Never thought to be fair. I've got an appointment at the docs next Friday. I'll do some reading and see what he says

I've checked nuts and carbs seem fine, o usually eat pecan, peanuts and Brazil . Red meat, not that keen on it tbh.

Thanks for replies I am T2 been so since 2014 My typical daily diet will be Breakfast full fat Greek yogurt with some nuts Lunch typical chicken or tuna salad or perhaps veg chilli cauli rice Teatime could be fish/white meat and veg followed by coffee or yoghurt n berries I snack on lots of...

Getting a bit fed up with my blood sugar levels not going anywhere other than either staying the same or slightly higher. My morning average seems to be about 9 now from 7. I've been on glimpiride and pravastatin for some time now and it does seem that my medication isn't working. I've tried...

Great posts, I have bought some capsules and ordered some Methi Leaves from my mates asian food shop :) See how they go :)
