[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2514853, member: 100904"] Ok, first of all, I am sorry you have the stress of dealing with your mum’s terminal cancer. Is it possible that you are neglecting your own self care? At the very least in your situation I would be testing BG levels regularly. Fasting level, and immediately before, then 2 hours after meals. Keeping a record of those levels, and what you have consumed. I know that is tedious, but you need the information in order to go to GP, and discuss whether you do need different meds. If by diet, and Metformin you are not seeing better control of BG, then it is likely that you will. That said, I am not without empathy, as I have in the past cared for terminally ill loved ones, and neglected my own health needs. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I wish I had thought that carers need to care for themselves, too. [/QUOTE]
