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
I'm currently on no medication as waiting for my referral to the hospital diabetic clinic as I've had allergic reactions to all of the medication I've tried so far.
My blood sugars are around 13mmol daily and I've noticed in the mornings my feet are swollen could this be diabetes related?
They have referred me to hospital for insulin as I'm out of options for medication. I had insulin before so I know I'm ok on that hopefully I don't have to wait long.
