Hello everyone, it's been quite a whilst since I last posted. hope everyone is happy and healthy!!
A lot has changed with me since then...I've been under the diabetes unit at my local hospital now for 12 months as my control went out of the window following a severe chest infection :thumbdown: The consultant started me on Byetta 10mcg injections twice per day, which I have had no problems with. I've lost 6 stone in weight during the 12 months I've been on it :thumbup: , but my sugar levels are still too high. At my appointment with the DSN this week, she has taken me off Gliclizide and put me on Glimepiride (Amaryl) 4mg x 1 per day. Has anyone else had experience of this medication? If so, how did you find it?
I'm off on holiday next week 8) on an all-inclusive basis (which I've never done before) and am a little worried about the choices I will have for meals.
I'll let you know how I get on!
