Thank you for this, in answer to your questions - Yes he does test his blood, the readings up until last week were around the 14 high we know, he has been on metformin since november time. As the readings were not changing at all - it was clear to me that the metformin was not working. He now takes half a gliclazide (40) before breakfast and evening meal and in the past week the readings have come down to 12/11 in the morning, still high. Is it normal to only see the nurse or do others see a doctor as he's never seen the doc about anything to do with his diabetes? thank you again for your help.

<br />Hi sleigh, welcome to the forum.Does your husband test his blood sugars?Sometimes high blood sugars can cause itching,sometimes so can the medication.He needs to see his doctor and explain about his feet.
Knowledge is the key to control
