Hi,
First post on here and after a bit of advice.
For quite a while now i don't feel good when i wake up, basically tired, often feel sick/shakey and have a headache. I've been testing my fasting bloods and these seem to range from 4.1 to 6.5. When eating, they tend to be 5.0 to 6.5 pre food and 6.5 to 7.5 2hrs after, they never seem to rocket even if I've been a bit naughty and ate something i really shouldn't have. In general i eat quite healthy and exercise most days.
My first Hba1c was in March at 67, by May i had dropped this down to 48. My next review is at the end of next month but i'm still on 1000mg metformin a day. I was wondering if this level of metformin could be causing the morning symptoms based upon my results and should i contact my doctor to see about getting it reduced now rather than waiting 6 weeks for my next appointment?
A lot of this is still new to me so sorry if this seems a daft question! But any advice would be appreciated.
