Just a bit of advice please . On diagnosis 18 months ago , type 2 , nurse wanted me to take Metformin straight away but I asked for a lttle time to work on my regime, she agreed and since then , I have gained very tight control of BG through reducing carbs, usually take about 30-50 gr per day and BG readings have been consistantly good, usually 4-5 fasting and under 6 two hours after food . Nothing has changed food wise but I have noticed an upward change in BG , fasting often being 6.5-7 and two hours after food being up to 8ish . I am due to see the nurse in about 3 weeks time but wonder if I ought to see her before , or is this nothing to be concerned about ? I dont take any meds for the diabetes, which makes it harder to even attempt to get the figures lower , thanks for any advice , Kate x
