[QUOTE="yozer, post: 179199, member: 32063"] Hi just a quick update :-( my levels are getting worse, the dietician wasn't happy as she said I was having too much protein and not enough carbs, took her advice and readings went a lot higher lol. They put me on metformin but ended up in hospital after having a allergic reaction to it. (appently it's quite rare). I'm now on insulin I will say it's not as bad as I thought it would be but it is still a struggle. I think I have a lot to learn about gd as to be honest I just don't "get it" my readings are never what I think they are going to be, eg tonight after tea my reading was 8.7 amazing I thought not been under 11 after tea in over 10 days! Then tested a few min ago as going to bed (4 hours later) and it was 8.6 - and I've not eaten again how has it only dropped by 0.1 in all that time! Back to clinic on Tuesday as they are reassessing my insulin dose etc just hope i haven't gained again ( oups gained 4 lb last week - but that's another mystery!) xxx [/QUOTE]
