Hi all,
I was diagnosed type 2 about 3 months ago now. I'm currently on Glucophage as metformin didn't agree with me at all!
My post is to ask you all how often were you seen by the doctor? I'm feeling abandoned and unsure on things at the moment. I'm testing my blood now and then but my fasting blood never seems to be below 11. The other day I tested 2 hours after food and it was 17.3. Can any of you offer advice. Should I book an appt at the doctors or just carry on?
My doctor told me that I shouldn't be testing but as I'm laying for testing strips myself then I will continue to do so,
I'm having regular "episodes" where I'm extremely drowsy during the day which I know is because my BS is high.
HAs any type 2 buddies found that tablets simply don't work for them and they've had to switch to insulin? I'm beginning to struggle in taking tablets. I break them in half as they're quite big but even then it take a few try's to get them down, I've never had issues with taking tablets but 3 months of taking them every day I'm struggling.
Sorry for the whiny post. I'm just feeling at a loss at the moment.
The only good news is that I've lost a stone in weight!
Any help or advice on any of the above would be most helpful.
Thanks all xx
