[QUOTE="poppyplum, post: 381424, member: 69897"] hi Miriam thank you for your reply. i think you are right i should just try to learn what i need to know not all there is as the topic is enormous. i am learning fast as i have gone rapidly from diet to metformin to the addition of gliclazide at max doses. six weeks ago morning slow acting insulin was added, i thought i was doing well but my sugars were still too high. on tuesday i start on rapid acting insulin 3 x a day. i am already used to blood sugar testing even though type 2 s don't always need to do it. my diabetes has been bought on by high doses of prednisolone used for my brittle asthma to try and prevent multiple admisssions to hospital. my dad has type 2 and has never done sugars testing, he takes one metformin a day. i struggle with the metformin and gliclazide they make me nauseous and can cause vomiting. even with slow release. I am also on high dose of quetiapine and that can cause high sugars too. i have had a lovely day with my hydrotherapy session where i can exercise in comfort in the warm pool, today was my first day without a carer in with me, i enjoyed the freedom. then a friend came this afternoon. poppyplum [/QUOTE]
