Hi all,
Newbie to the forum after some advice. T2 diagnosed 2016, metforminSR 500mg.
All going swimmingly until covid and meno hit. I'm 56 btw.
I have from top to bottom...
Depression
High BP
Hiatus Hernia
Acid Reflux
? IBS (awaiting results)
Intollerance to wheat, gluten and dairy
Osteoporosis (no kneecaps)
Dry skin
Toenails like a rhino
But I still have my sense of humour! Or did...
3 weeks ago I had my first Abc1defgh thingie blood test since pre covid and it came back at 91!
Cue my sukkarto going from 500mg daily to 2g daily. Taking that much more I would expect somewhere near normalish but no. I can't get my BM below 10 and it mostly hangs around 14, before, after food, meds, sleep, exercise, everything.
My carbs are averaging at 47g per day. High meat, fruit, veg, low carbs, zero wheat, gluten, dairy. I drink oat milk. I swim 30/40 lengths twice a week, my weight is dropping very slowly (5st since diagnosis). IBS leads to the inevitable 'fallout' but not daily.
I can't get through to the surgery and econsult is phoning me on the 15th! So its time to ask those who know best.
My apologies for the long post. Thank you all
