    High bloods on a morning

    Hi thanks for that. I am on meds 4mg glimpiride and other meds for cholesterol as well. I will see what the nurse says when I speak to her. I typically have salads at lunch for example and a an evening meal about 5. I might look at moving them around and see if that has an affect. Managing...

    Sertraline and control

    I have only been on them a few weeks, that is what I thought. I have got freestyle libre as well as a test to see what is happening and how long the spikes are for. I am going to do a meal plan for the week ahead and stick to that, although I do eat low carb any how. Just thought be good to...

    Sertraline and control

    I have been given sertraline by my doctor as I am suffering from anxiety due various factors like the kids and my sister recently passing away. I have read the leaflet and it tells me that I may experience adverse sugar control. Before I was given them my blood sugars have been up and down for...

    New injection

    I think he is wanting me to get levels down to manageable level. Then reassess. I already do low carb and I keep regular diary of what I'm having. I eat thinks like tuna salad, chicken with broccolli rice etc etc. It's really frustrating. The other thing that is on my mind is that we have been...

    New injection

    My doctor has said that need to try new injection based medication as my hba1c is too high at 63. I agree as no tablet seems to be working or gives me side effects. It's not insulin but this https://www.trulicity.com/ Has anyone got any experience of this?

    Yes I do test after meals, doesn't matter what it is tbh, usually 4 or 5 higher. I do keep a spreadsheet to track and there really is no pattern. Other than drug changes over recent times

    Sugars levels not improving

    It's the highs that are concerning I've been as high as 15. I could try cutting out the coffee, but I don't think that is the problem. I think I will wait til after my next bloods to cut out the stations tbh. The main reason I think is that my dad had heart attack and we use the same doctors so...
