Hi finally got my account back!
Here’s my story so far……
I was diagnosed with t2 in 2011 and lived in denial for a long time. I was badly overwhelmed with it all and I was over weight I decided to change my lifestyle and lost 3 1/2 stone by way of a better diet and exercise.
I fell off the diabetic wagon and felt helpless again. Deciding last year to get back to better I started my healthy regimen again.
I am currently taking
metformin 1000mg
Linagliptin 2.5mg
Canagliflozin 300mg
Ozempic injection 0.5mg
I try to keep my carbs at under 160mg a day
I do 60+ minutes of exercise at least 5 times per week
my daily blood sugar tests are not shifting
First thing in the morning I get ratings between 7.7 to 9.1 mmol
Before lunch 6.5 to 8.5 mmol
Before bed 7.7 to 10.4 mmol
yesterday my carbs where 154.4mg I took my blood at 10pm after fasting from 6.30pm the reading was 8.8mmol
This morning expecting a low reading my test was 9.1 mmol which I was really disappointed at.
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong and with all the hard work I put in it leaves me very disappointed and feeling hopeless I want to learn what I’m doing wrong and get a better insight into managing my diabetes
