Ok, diagnosed with Type 2 nearly two years ago ...
Only sstarted monitoring my blood sugar via an Acumen mobile meter about 6 months back. My readings are never anywhere near the 4 -6 range. In the morning, I tend to be around 10.1 - 14.1 on waking. About an hour after eating ( regardless of food types ), I'm creeping up to as high as 18. I saw the Gp last week and he now wants to up my Metformin from 2x500mg a day to the maximum 4x500mg a day. I'm really not happy with this at all ! I do train and exercise around 4 times a week ( normally an hour of cardio walking/light jog if I can ... use some hand weights, etc for a further 30 mins ). Yet, my sugars are still high ...
I do have eating issues in that I struggle to eat regular ... I wake up and tend not to eat until around 1pm. I then have a dinner around 6pm and train around 8:30pm ... I just drink water after training and then sleep. Uriniation during the night has been back for the last 4 months now ( often 2-3 times a night ). I am a hefty 18 stones, despite my training and Ican't shift weight at all currently.
I'm a bit confused by it all, tbh ... Feel often quite weak and my eyesight has gone to pot over this last 14 months, despite my yearly scan looking great apparently. Oh, and I have the worst 'dry mouth' imaginable now during the night ...
