I have been diagnosed T2 since 2007. Couple of years ago I was put on 2 x glicazide with 1 x metformin. However, this year I have been unwell with kidney infections and, now, the most horrific cold that I can't shake. In the meantime my BS shot into double figures and DBN seems insistent I go on insulin (which I dread). I've all but cut out carbs and for main meal eat meat and lots of veg, yet my fasting BS still in double figures. I am wondering A)if there are alternatives to glicazide- as this is my only meds since DBN stopped metformin as too harsh on my kidneys?
B) would I benefit or be within my rights to be referred back to endocrinologist who I saw some years ago and who put me on glicazide?
If insulin is the only answer I guess I will need to agree. But on just 2 glicazide a day I feel there may be alternatives as I see others are on different meds.
