I Fear All Is Lost

[diet betes]

Hi Folks,

The past couple of months i have found it impossible to get my BG below 10 & it is usually up to 13.

If anything I have been eating less and certainly no cakes or other goodies.

I am on a low carb regime but it seems to make no difference at all.

On waking my BG is between 11 & 13, then breakfast on bacon & mushrooms. 2 Sainsbury's Cappucinos thro' the morning & test again at 1230 when BG will be the same as before.

This follows on thro' out the day.

Am I doomed??

Chris.

No you are not doomed but I think you need to get back to your doctor. Are you on medication?

How many carbs are in the cappuchino?

Thanks for replies,

Medication:- METFORMIN 1000mg 3 times daily; GLICLAZIDE 160mg 2 times daily.

The Cappy's are 5.7 carbs each.

When I first read this, I thought "wrong diagnosis, type 1??
but I checked your registration and you say you've been diagnosed 10 years.. So that's not likely. I suggest you keep a careful and accurate food and blood sugar diary for at least a week and take it to your healthcare team. They may be able to see from that what is going wrong.
Another thought has just jumped into my head. Could you be carrying some kind of infection? Get the docs to check.
