Hello
My name’s Shaun and I normally just lurk reading posts but I need some advice please. I’m a type 2 diabetic on Metformin 500mg three times a day, normally manage quite well but recently things have started to go wrong. I’ve had haematuria recently which was treated with nitrofurantoin. Yesterday, I dipsticked my urine and my glucose levels where off the chart. Also, a trace of ketones too. Felt like I was in a daze! It improved throughout the day by drinking plenty of water. Today, the same thing! I’ve only had 2 weetabix, a coffee and a tea. Any ideas? I’ve got a GP appointment at 3pm this afternoon. I’ve had lots of stress recently. My son has had surgery, a funeral and the arguments that follow and dealing with a claim for a car accident. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
