Hi,
Fiona here from Perth Western Australia.
Diagnosed 2011 Type 2 and I have lousy control managing my diabetes.
I am 55, divorced with 3 grown up lads.
I have 2 cats. I am a shift worker and do 12 hours shift this plays havoc with my control of my blood sugars as meal times are eractic.
I am on Janumet 50mg/1000mg twice a day. Doctor added 1000mg Metformin 1 x daily.( I am not taking the additional Metformin)
This morning my reading was 11.1. This is still too high but considering my morning reads were generally mid 14's I am happier, sometimes my readings are in the mid 9's. I have recently started taking chromium and I think this is helping.
I also don't take statins and have a level of 6.9, this has come down from 7.4.
I love this site and the forums and have been a lurker for a wee while
