Thanks. I'm not going to go back to my old eating and sitting down far to often habits. I've had my metaformin cut to 1x 500 a day now but I'm worried stopping it could make the levels rise again so I'll see how I go with 1 a day. As mad as it sounds being diagnosed diabetic has improved my...

After having a HBA1C of 140 plus in August 2022 my latest result is 37mmol. Does this mean I have put myself in remission.

When I was reducing my sugars I felt awful as they dropped. Didn't feel like the low sugars I get now though

Hi, Sounds very similar to my journey into being diagnosed as diabetic. i was given 2 blood test machines,1 tested sugar levels and 1 tested ketones. I was given the ketones tester as my sugar levels where high 20s and apparently over 14mmol you can get ketones, all i know about...

I have a magnesium blood test In a few weeks. I was told I test to much and I didn't need a libre. But without using the libre I wouldn't have reduced my levels as quick. The libre taught me a lot about what foods do to me

I was confirmed type 2 diabtes eventually. I have read that Meta can in some cases cause hypos. When I went to see the diabetic team and I told them about my hypos and they seen them on the libre app I asked about Reactive Hypoglycaemia...

I have reduced the mad spikes by eating smaller meals but eating 6 times a day doing this has levelled my sugars out and stopped hypos unless I forger to eat or don't get a chance. Lowest I've been was 2.5mmol measured on blood I think that shown as 2.2 on libre. I think they are real hypos as...

Hi, im on 2x 500mg of Metaformin.

After my initial HBA result of 140 mmol plus in September my latest results show I've got my level down to 48mmol. I've had a good few hypos while getting control of my sugars but seam to have stopped them now eating little and often. There's 2 things I still cant sort out though. 1 if I eat to...

Sorry if i sound stupid but what is RH. I've cut carbs down to almost none now but my levels are sitting between 8 and 9 when not eating now. Even with a good walk it only drops to low 6s. My eye sight changes from day-to-day aswel. The diabetes team has stopped weekly contact now and it's...

I dipped to 3 according to my libre graph about 5am but the alar didn't wake. Looks as though I was below the line for between 15 and 30 mins.

Thanks for all the replies. I only have small amounts of brown rice or potatoes with meals and always check thr high and low reading with a finger blood. The clinic couldn't give me any answers and just advised cut back to 1 meta a day. I've been reading loads on this forum and Google I've...

I had a reading of 12 on the libre about 2 hours after food. That dropped then to 3.5 in 2 hours after the reading of12. I have no idea why my levels are all over the place. I was officially diagnosed as type 2 today but could t get answers on why my levels are dropping so low as it shouldn't...

I'm waiting on blood test results to come back. My fasting levels in the morning range from between 5 and 12 now. They where over 18 2 weeks ago. I have just had a low sugar alert from my libre of a 3.5 and checked it against my finger prick tester and that showed 3.4. That's 2 hours after a...

I feel a bit wobbly and pupils go very small. Everything I've read suggests Metaformin can't cause Hypos though.

Hi, Since been told I have diabetes about 6 weeks ago, still not been told if I'm type 1 or 2. Starting off my sugars where in the 30s. I have been off glixicide for about 2 weeks and been on 2000g of metaformin s a day since. Since I've been on the Meta my sugars have been dropping to 3.5 a...

Thanks for the reply. I think it will be pmol/l. Hopefully a sign its type 2.

Tested mine at 4am and I was at 18.1

Hi, I am recently diagnosed with diabetes still unsure what type. I had my C Peptide results back today and they are just over 900. Due to this reading it's still not possible to give am answer on what type I am. Does anyone know what unit the 900 will be measured in and have any knowledge of...
