Tony, Can't understand why you gave this information! This was my question:- Latest tests show an HbA1c of 55, a deterioration over the last test which was 42. Should I be concerned or is this figure still acceptable control?

Latest tests show an HbA1c of 55, a deterioration over the last test which was 42. Should I be concerned or is this figure still acceptable control?

Years ago a Diabetic Nurse said I should have Porridge for B/Fast as it was slow releasing sugar.She said her husband was Diabetic & this is what he had. I believed her & followed the advise. My BS levels went through the roof & it was the same for all other cereal products. The problem with...

Well, at least I'm alive this morning! Fasting BS was 8.1 But I am prone to overnight sugar dump. But perhaps I should not have had the two biscuits, one never knows. Thanks for the support The battle continues!

Time is now 22:33 Had last Gliclazide @ 17:30 BS just taken is still 4.4 Have decided to have two biscuits, & will then go to bed

I've not had any medical advise about nocturnal hypo's, but then I've not asked for this information. Just a bit concerned this evening that I could dip even lower.

I am on Gliclizide, 1 AM & 1 PM, so should I worry about getting BS of 4.4 2 hours after Supper?

Results recently have been a bit erratic, holidays etc have given problems. I've tried to counter by increasing Metformin back to original dosage. Current average BS 2 hours after B/Fast in December has been 7.75, & 2 hours after Supper 6.32. But tonight before Supper it was 5.5 & 2 hours after...

Blue, Many thanks for the help. My BMI is 24, which is said to be OK for my age, so weight is no problem. I'll just keep check on the BS & see what happens. Thanks again

Before "seeing the light" & moving to a lower carb. diet my medication was:- 4 Metformin 500mg/day 2 Gliclazide 80mg/day 1 Alogliptin 12.5mg/day Then with better control, HbA1c reduced to 45, medication was reduced to:- 3 Metformin/day 1 Gliclazide/day 1 Alogliptin/day Now addional control has...

Not writing this to brag but to encourage those who are trying to obtain better results. Always a bit of a concern when you go to get results after a major improvement, I reduced my HBa1C last time from 75 to 45. However the fist words from my nurse were "Wow" how are you doing it. I told her...

Pollenca, 11mmol/mol?

Alodeny, I agree I went for years not believing, getting HbA1c results in the 60's. Then a shock HbA1c went up to 75. Had to do something positive Reduced carbs greatly. Cut out Bread/Beer/Potatoes. Looked at lists of low carb food. Starting eating Celeriac instead of potatoes, I now think it's...

I'm satified that my Medication is correct for the HbA1c levels I'm achieving When I get my next review these will be reviewed as standard practice.

Thanks to all I'm just going to monitor if I go under 4.0 & then adjust with care.

Same celebration the next night as well, 3 glasses of red wine, just missed out the Chicken salad.

Reading another post on the forum, "Hypo 2 Days Running" it's stated that Hypo levels in general commence at circa 4.0. Therefore my evening post Supper level appears to be quite normal Yes?

OK, thanks but I take the Gliclazide before Breakfast. My Fasting levels, average, is BS 7.7 & 7.6 2 hours after Breakfast. It is the evening where I'm tending to go low.

Answers to questions:- 1 Type 2 2 Medication:- Morning 1 Gliclazide, 2 Metformin, 1 Alogliptin. Evening:- 1 Metformin Previous to good control I was taking in the evening 2 Metformin & 1 Gliclazide, but this has been reduced in agreement with the medics

Now that my BS is in much better control, HbA1c result last week of 45, in evenings post supper my BS is regularly in the area of 4.8. I don't feel at this level that I'm going into a Hypo but I think I could be near to this condition. Before my BS was controlled better I used to get advanced...
