    Type 2 Diabetes control when poorly

    My meter was flashing possible ketones I've got to take a sample in tomorrow. Also they said I need to bring my blood sugars down and putting me on gliclazide but I'm pretty sure that gave me an awful pain in my stomach. Still waiting to see hospital diabetes team my appointment is in Dec though
