Dr. reduced Metformin 2 weeks ago from 3 a day to 2, because my stats were so good. My blood sugar test in the mornings has gone from usually 5-6 up to 8-11. Would this be because of the lower dose? Do you think i should just carry on or go back to Dr.?

Just coming up to my first year as type 2. Got check-up next Monday. Weight loss over the year 2 stone. I seem stuck at this weight now. I stopped daily testing some months ago as the results were always the same, 5-8, i was happy with that. The one problem i do have though is that for the past...

Not been here for a few weeks but i thought i would share my good news. Diagnosed 6 months ago. Blood test was 73. Three months later it was 58. Today, three months on, bloods are 47. My Doctor was so pleased with me. It has not been as hard as i expected. I still sneak 'naughty' foods in...

Had my check-up tonight with Dr. Its my first 3 month blood test since i was diagnosed in September. Then it was 73. 3 months on and its 54!. She was so pleased for me. She said it usually takes quite a few drops before it gets that low, so i have been a good girl, lol. Next test in March and i...

I get the results of my second blood test tomorrow. 3 months since diagnoses. I am worried my results wont have gone down (73 first time). On 500mg Metformin 3 times a day and testing 4 times a day. I never seem to get low results, always between 7 and 10. I am finding the diet very depressing...

Wondering if anyone had had more episodes of stones or gravel since being diagnoses with type 2. I had a kidney stone about 2 years ago, horrible pain, and hospital, mri etc. it passed naturally. I had no idea i may be diabetic then. Diagnosed type 2, 3 months ago and am in the middle of what...

I posted here and it shows as 'redirect' n/a. I dont know what that means. I am a newbie and it was about meds and Diabetes.

I asked my Dr. for Pregablin for my nerve problems. I twitch and jump every evening, cant sit still, weird feelings mostly in my legs but it can be full body. Driving me insane! I was told they dont like to prescribe that and she would give me Gabapentin instead. I have looked at the side...

I have been plodding along, trying to make sense of this Diabetes thing and think i am succeeding. Saw different Dr. last week and she also said i dont need to test my bg. So thats 2 Drs. and no help. I bought my own strips but its far too expensive. See Diabetes Nurse for first time tomorrow...

Saw Dr. today for first month check. Blood test was to see how my body is coping with Metformin and apparently all is fine. Found out my initial blood test showed 73 (not 45 as i thought). Told this was very high but i have not a clue what it means. Wont know new figure until beginning of...

7.4 bg. 2 hours after lunch of mince and brown pasta. Lowest yet since diagnoses 4 weeks ago. I AM SO CHUFFED!!

Diagnosed 4 weeks ago. Put straight on to Metformin, starting at one 500mg a day first week, 2 second week, 3 third week. In fourth week bg levels have dropped to 8+ fasting and 9-11+ after meals. This seems good to me after such high intial readings.Second blood test taken and Dr. for...

Been on Metformin for 3 weeks and today fasting blood is 10.1. Maybe the Dr. will increase the dose from 3 a day? Also, how do i deal with oral thrush, as ive had it three times in the last 5 weeks. Its been treated but keeps reoccurring. Can i get advice please?
