[QUOTE="JRT, post: 2365337, member: 520947"] Hiya,no need for any apologies and sending big hugs! Lots of good advice off others here too. Try not to be to hard on yourself. We all know what we should be doing but now more than ever it's so hard. Ironically the situation that's causing the stress is probably not helping with bloods. It could be anyway that your body was on the edge of changing and stress has pushed it over edge. When I was first diagnosed I found that after a few cautious months my bs stable pretty much whatever ate although a chinese meal always had a small impact. Five years after that I had a very stressful few months and suddenly my blood sugars were through roof even if completely cut out as many carbs etc. They tried another medication which had no effect. Eventually I was put into a weekly injection which not insulin but similar. The results were pretty instant. I did question whether I still needed full dose of metformin even though things fine. For whatever reason they seem to think staying on full dose always needed. It could well be that reducing your metformin has had an impact. I've been fine for 5 years. My last blood test was a year ago and levels slightly raised. I was very positive as had lost nearly a stone and smoking negligible. We were supposed to review last April but didnt happen. I have an appointment for next week. I'm expecting a similar result to yours. I did have healthier moments over last year but comfort food often won over common sense and put weight back on etc. Take things step by step and be kind to yourself and see what GP says and take it from there. I was also lucky enough to have my first vaccination today. I had the ffzer one. The sense of relief was unbelievable! [/QUOTE]
