Helllo there moanymoan. Interested to see your post which sounds exactly similar to me although I have only just been diagnosed as T2. Started Metformin a week ago and there seemed to be a slight improvement in the sweats but last night all back again and doubled up with stomach cramps. GP...

Have only been on Metformin for four days but am walking around like a zombie, so tired and feel like I'm not really on this planet. Needless to say I feel a bit nervous of going out and especially driving whilst feeling this way. Anyone else had this problem or could it be unconnected to...

Like you roxy I have been diagnosed T2 with high readings over the past 4 months. I am now on Metformin just 1 x 500 and I am also on Atorvastatin, thyroxine, nebivolol, irbesartan and digoxin. Every day I have severe periods where I feel so tired almost to the point of comatosed and have...

Looking at posts on the forum I see people stating their BG levels of 7 -8 are considered very high and they are wondering what they should do about it. Mine are constantly between 12 - 16 and yet when I saw GP on Monday she didn't seem that bothered at those readings. Has started me on...

Stephen & Clare - Many thanks for your replies and opinions. I saw GP this afternoon for the results of the H whatever blood test and she said my BS has been very high for at least the last 90 days and has prescribed Metformin onee of which I have just taken. It makes me cross to think that...

I was diagnosed a month ago with Type 2 and told by GP to try dieting for three months before they will do anything - other than a check with the diabetic nurse (due 30th of this month). I have been feeling really unwell - sweating profusely, tired to the point of feeling comatosed, lack of...

Thanks Daisy and donnellysdogs fro your replies which are most useful. I was put on Digoxin at the end of last year and have also had my blood pressure medication increased so possibly connected in view of what you say. WIll ask GP next week when I go for the results of the HMIaC. Thanks...

i HAVE RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED TYPE 2 AND AM ONE MONTH THROUGH TRYING TO REDUCE BLOOD SUGAR WITH DIET/EXERCISE. i AM HAVING THE MOST HORRENDOUS HOT FLUSHES AND SWEATING - AT THE AGE OF 72 - WELL PAST MENOPAUSE! I WAS HAVING THEM FOR A FEW MONTHS BEFORE BEING DIAGNOSED BUT I AM SURE I...

Thanks Anna for your post. Dont think it can be menopause at my age - 72 - more likely high BS which I hope can be sorted with the result of the recent blood test. You're right about being persistent when it comes to your health - most of the GP's in my group seem to think everything you go...

Many thanks for your reply. No they have not given me a meter to test levels yet. I had a HbA1c test on Tuesday but have not heard back from GP yet. When diagnosed my levels were high but the sweating came on this morning before I had eaten - having last eaten at 6.30 last night. Have...

HAVE JUST BEEN DIAGNOSED TYPE 2 AND PUT ON THREE MONTHS DIET ONLY. I AM SUFFERING TERRIBLY WITH PROFUSE SWEATING IN THE HEAD AND NECK - IS THIS NORMAL? WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE ELSE WHO IS HAVING OR HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HOW THEY WERE TREATED FOR IT.
