[QUOTE="Trudeewillz, post: 1304335, member: 351306"] Hi I have just been diagnosed last week as diabetic but the diabetic Dr and nurse are being really evasive as to which type!?? My hba1c was 103 and even though I'm on metformin and alogliptin my blood sugars wont come down the lower itit's een at all since a week last Friday was 10! i got cancer 4.5 years ago so My diet is healthy as I eat clean 95% of the time, we even grow our own veg organically and don't eat hardly any processed foods and i'm not a person that eats a lot of sweets n chocolate if any as cancer thrives on sugar. The only thing I can and have changed his my carbs ( root veg ) but this has not made any difference to my b.s.... my b.s before i went to sleep last night was 11.8 and that was hours after I'd eaten my tea and I woke this morning and my fasting b.s. were 13.4!!!?? My average b.s atm is around 17.....going up to 23.9. I am however disabled and was bed ridden for almost 2 years but for the last few months I've been the best that I've been in many years and I'm even managing to go on a walk with my relator walking frame ( so not fast walking! ) and hubby for half an hour every other day most of the time!
