[QUOTE="KarenGG, post: 2290246, member: 522935"] I found out I was T2 (steroid induced) in March, I had DKA and sepsis, came out 3 weeks later on metformin 500mg, but was discharged early because they wanted everyone out they could. After about 10 days and still high BG 10-15 they added in a second dose, which rapidly became 2 tablets twice a day. With only just a slight improvement BG 9-12 and a sudden rapid increase in BG to 12-19 with 1 yesterday at 24.3, the consultant has added in Gliclazide 1/2 tablet in morning which I start tomorrow, they’ve warned me about possible hypo’s which is ok (sort of) I was just wondering if others who have been down this journey before me. I’m doing an almost keto diet with 20-25 carbohydrates but this obviously alone was sorting it, I’m just wondering what to expect tomorrow with first dose. :( [/QUOTE]
