Thought it was about time I sorted myself out and joined. Been often enough to the website but never plucked up the courage to join and start posting, but I find needs must now. I was diagnosed in June 2006. I have had problems with some of the medication and had to change it a few times. I started on Victoza in March 2011 and have gradually lost weight, going from a size 24 to my now size 16. I was feeling so much better but over the last few months I've struggled to regulate my sugars.
I've reach 'the' age and I've started with the hot flushes. When I have a hot flush my sugars raise massively. Yesterday at work they were 14.9 and I felt dreadful. Went for a brisk walk and they reduced to 12.3 but then mid afternoon another flush sent them to 13.9. I have a wonderful diabetic nurse and often ring her for advise but I know how busy they are at our practice so thought a query on here may save her time. I am due to see a gynecologist mid August to make sure there are underlying problems. I've not had sugars so high since my diagnosis and I'm worried!
Anyone's thoughts or similar experiences would help me - thanks
