Hi samqju, I am not on any of those drugs so can't be of help on them sorry. Just wanted to welcome you to the forums really :)

Hi Vangellis1, Firstly welcome to the forum. I'm also a type2 and when I joined this forum a few weeks ago also had readings around the 10-12 mark. I personally am trying the low carb diet and it's amazing the difference it is making, my readings are mostly between 5 - 7.5 now. There is loads of...

5.4 this morning. That's more like it :)

6.8 for me this morning not sure why!

Hi Maggie75, Sounds to me as if you're determination is going to be a big help to you to get back on track. Getting that Hba1c test done is a good step so you have a new base to start from, so you can see it go down and yes self testing before and after meals certainly helped me big time...

Hi w00d57, Welcome to the forum. So sorry to hear you've had such a rough time of it and do hope you are now sorted with somewhere to live permanently. These forums are a great place to be to learn from people that actually have diabetes and know the problems and are able to give informed...

Hi TLC55, Welcome to the forum :) Yep had a similar experience with a few meds, got so sick of bad tums but hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel. As catinahat said a lot of us are trying the Low Carb diet, me included and I've seen a huge difference in my numbers.

Hi Jo, welcome to the forum, I've only been here a few weeks and totally agree with your statement above. All my info comes from here now, from people that have diabetes themselves and know what they are talking about. So listening and reading their posts and advice I decided to try the Low Carb...

Hi Ambermac, welcome to the forum :) I am also in the same (kind of) age range, maybe a tad older ;) and my skin seemed to get dryer about 14 years ago, I've been diagnosed about 12/13 years with T2D so maybe there is a link. But maybe it's also to do with our age, regardless I'd say try a new...

Hi Suzieb1, Welcome to the forum. I'm also type 2 and have been for more than a decade, I was also told to eat wholemeal, sourdough etc and wheetabix or porridge, rice,pasta potatoes and had great difficulty in lowering my BG levels. Then a few weeks ago I found this forum and am now following...

Ooo! Just up my street this one, solo refreshing. It has always been my favourite drink but haven't tried one since doing the low carb, will try tonight then test :happy:

Yes, they would put me on them for 3 months, test see they had lifted and stop them and repeat, for me the would never hold so was like a yo-yo. I personally didn't have any symptoms for low folic acid, it was simply by testing that I knew. I am told that I am unusual that I can't hold my...

Hi Mikaiya, Sorry to hear you are having these problems. I am not on Metformin or glyclazide so can't comment on those, but would have thought your team need to know they aren't working for you. You say you're eating sensibly, what do you mean by that? I ask because I am also T2 and for years...

6.2 at 4.45am mmm! Salad mainly yesterday :rolleyes:
