    Gliclazide with vildagliptin

    I'm on the same combination - along with Metformin & also struggle with Gliclazide & weight..... I was previously on Gliclazide & Sittagliptin - I gained almost 10kgs in that period.

    Trulicity - not working?

    Hi All, I've just started using Trulicity. I injected my second 0.75ml dose on Sunday. (I'm also taking 2000mg of Metformin daily) When should I expect to see a change in my numbers? I've had the usual symptoms of nausea/indigestion & loss of appetite, so I'm guessing it's doing something to my...

    Type 2 High bloods on a morning

    I have the same issue. Good control of my BG whilst awake & active. Currently on Sitagliptin & Metformin. Low BG at bedtime then 9-11mmol every morning. I'm up & about at 5am, but my high BG will hang around until 10am most days regardless of eating..... The pattern is skewing my HBA1c but my...

    Prednisolone & hba1C

    Thanks both for your replies. My GP has asked me to double my metformin to 1000mg twice a day & start taking statins off the back of this test result. My BG testing is showing levels between 5.9-9mmol and is coming down with exercise & carb reduction. Do I really need to double my metformin?

    Prednisolone & hba1C

    Evening all. I'm a newly diagnosed t2 & just been for my first hba1C. My question is, for the past three weeks I've been on antibiotics & prednisolone (30mg)to treat bronchitis. Whilst on the treatment I've seen my BG spike to 22 & mostly stay in double figures. Would the steroid have skewed...
