I was called into my gp center on Friday following a blood test I had done on Thursday my HbA1c results came put as 98 and I was sent to hospital ASAP. The doctors are investigating whether I have type 1 or 2 diabetes however type 2 is in the family and I have never taken care with my sugar in take until now. I have been given metformin 500mg and gliclizade 40mg but I'm finding it really hard to swollow the metformin and I've been getting diarrhoea with it too (the doctors told me thats normal).At hospital my blood was reading 17.7, 20.0 etc but now with the medication my readings are coming down my most recent reading was 9.8 so its getting better...If you have any tips about swallowing the tablet or you have heard of this sort of case before then please let me know.Thanks so much!</blockquote>
