I am now on my 3rd type of blood sugar reducing tablets from the doctor, metaformin caused me issue with making me feel faint and weak. Glicazide made my blood sugar go low and another the name escapes me, gave me stonach cramps and an awful metallic taste. I have now been given these glipipion...

Thanks for replies. always great to hear from other folk :)

I have been experiencing blood sugar levels in a morning of 8 plus, when I test at other points in the day my levels seem normal, during this hot spell.Has anyone else had this? I have also been switched from metaformin to xelevia 50mg, about a month or so ago. Is this a drug that might cause...

I am a following a low carb diet myself. I find it easy to follow. I really aren't your typical diabetic either, as I have always been fit and active, never smoked or been over weight. All the advice from the NHS is typically steered towards these areas which I find really frustrating. Its like...

I went for my usual bloods back in march and got my results back. My HBA1c had increased to 60 and the doctor has since put me on metformin and I have now been taking them for roughly 7 weeks. But I have since not noticed any differences in my blood sugar levels, it's normally on a morning...

Thanks appreciate,yous and everyone else response. Always good to get others take on things. I'm hoping my blood sugar will calm down

I have had really bad stomach cramps for past few nights, not sleeping well. Got up bloods were 11, only had some chicken night before bloods were 5.5. Why would they be so high, is that lack of sleep? Also did 30 mins on excercise bike,came down to 6.5

That's exactly what I am thinking. Its mental trying to keep on top of it all

I had my recent bloods done a month ago, they cam back and my HBA1c ws 60. Which I was kind of expecting, but since then I have started doing a couple of days a week fasting. Well lets say shortening my eating window on a tuesday and thursday, so basically not eating anything from about 2pm...

I'm reading lots about statins, all the horrible side effects some of which I know. Seems funny that since being on this particular one, pravastatin my bloods have gone upward especially on a morning.

I know my last set of bloods my good levels were high so that probably put up the actual results. My friend at work has suggested looking into the keto diet

I don't yet, I'm due at doc next week so will then. I don't tend fast beforehand no, not been asked too before.

Thanks Mike, I will be doing a lot of research. I've been on 4 different statins in that past because of various problems, like muscle cramps and IPS. My body doesn't like them by the looks

Hi there, The reason I take the statins is because of the high chlosterol, but my good chlosterol is a lot higher than my bad. I also tend to find that my blood sugars are normal during the day but in the morning they are high over the last few monthes. Find it hard to explain. I'm due to go...

I have been on statins for sometime and I have had various side effects from various ones. The current ones are pravastatin and they seem to have help push my blood sugars up especially on a morning. I was then told by my doctor that the statins where necessary balance. Suggesting that I took...

I am seriously doubting the statins because this is the 4th type I have been given as I have had numerous side effects from the others. And given that my cholesterol isn't moving that much I very much inclined too. I am going to try altering my diet as well so not eating red meat or as much...

Hi Sean, I am really active in terms of exercise, I regularly go to the gym and cycle miles, I eat oily fish like mackeral etc at least twice a week. I have salads and avoid most things like bread that will shove my bloods up. I am going to do exactly that have a diet for the next month...

In all honesty that's pretty much what I have done. I Probably drink beer a too often but other than that I cut out the processed stuff and anything white. Don't ever eat spuds, wheat or rice. I do have the occassional bowl of porridge and have things like oat cakes with peanut butter. So this...

What are you doing to get it that low? I couldn't get below 46 even without statins

I'll try get more details
