Reading now 19.9 mmol 5 hours after eating

Also taking metformin sr 500mg twice a day with a gliclazide tablet twice a day before a meal but then sometimes I forget to,take this tablet. I’ve truly lost the plot.

Diet is basically non existent although I don’t eat much but maybe pick more. Breakfast was a yoghurt and then at 1200 on the way home had a McDonald kids meal of 4 chicken nuggets and some fries. Haven’t eaten since. Dinner tonight will be a cheese and ham turkey burger and mash. I’ve really...

Retested and got 22.1. When I put this number in a chart it came back as 4.2 so now I’m not confident in what chart I should be looking at. 22.1 was mmol result.

Guilty of not monitoring blood sugar levels for a while but felt ok. Last 7 days feeling tired, thirsty and a little dizzy from time to time. Think I’m also getting a cough so maybe a little under the weather Only thing I have done differently is had a drink being Christmas etc..... Just took...

I'm no gallbladder but didn't and still don't follow a Low fat diet. Gallbladder removed 2010. Have periods of stomach pains followed by a rush to the loo, not nice. Worse thing, just home from hospital after 3 days spell because I thought I was having a heart attack due to the severe chest...

Sounds like you're doing really well. GP isn't wanting to do any further blood tests so will see what I can get done on next routine test. However, 2 weeks ago I was feeling very unwell and found BP machine and readings were 202/135 followed by 198/133 and it was like this for 24 Hrs do...

Update on my back pain. Just see. Diabetic nurse and waking to a back pain which eases once I'm up and about she says is muscular rather than anything sinister. Great news for me though was my HBA1c reading which was 10.1 (97) end of June to 8.1 or (65) now. It's probably not as good as it could...

Never been on the first one you mentioned but stopped taking the other 2 many months ago. Adjusted my diet slightly today and will gradually turn it round. Blood test in 10 days do will see if this has helped. I only seem to get the leg and thigh pain when I'm sitting about for long periods or...

Many thanks for your thread. Will def look at the Alpha Lipoic, looks like 600mg a day is a good dosage. I'll try anything now. Will look at the online info too. I've had a wake up call after 4 years thinking things are ok. Put too much time and effort in to work and now its time to think about me.

Thank you very much for your advice, much appreciated. I will go slow with my eating habits changed and will always discuss with GP or DN.

Hi bluejeans 98. Surgery just called to move an appointment and I asked about the Alpha Lipoic acid capsules. They'll ask the DN to call me to later to discuss.

I'll contact surgery today as I am an online patient but not seeing results online. Thanks.

I also had flu and pneumonia jab in each arm yesterday. [emoji4]

For Info. BS this morning at 0745 was 11.3 and random at 1900 last night taken by DN was 13.8

Regarding Alpha Lipoic Acid. Should I contact my GP to see if they will supply or can I just go and buy them from a health store?

Thank you all for your replies. Truth is I'm scared for the first time since diagnosed in 2012. I don't control what j eat, I still eat choc and find it easy to easy when feeling down or just in front of the tv at night. I know I need to stop this. I also need to start a low carb diet. However...

No blood test. Only saw GP at 7pm this evening. Soup was advised due to amount of sodium and its nutritional value. Will mention sodium levels when I go back next week. I'll start tomorrow with the soup and low carbs and the Gliclazide and see how I get on.

Hi All. Thank you for your feedback. No upset stomach now but I ended it abruptly by dosing myself with Imodium instants for 4 days. Will dabble now with the soup and will work harder at a low carb diet as I really don't want to carry on feeling like this. I'll re-educate myself and my husband ...
