Message: <blockquote data-quote="Craigmartin" data-source="post: 2614792" data-attributes="member: 522978">Hy. Not posted in a long time but after advice please as things going in wrong direction.Was diagnosed 2019 type 2. The average glucose level was 124 at that point. Joined here and had good help and got to 75 by 6 month and 49 after the first year. I started on metformin but got switched to Sukkarto as lots of toilet troubles. Slightly better on Sukkarto but still had regular bouts of the trots. After the initial fear upon diagnosis after couple of years i was less scared and started cutting corners diet wise. The Doc switched me onto Trulicity injections once a week. This was a Godsend as it instantly stopped the gastric problems.Spent last few year with the 6 month tests coming back in 50s but last year was put on Otezla tablets for psoriasis and just had result of 81. I've started doing my pin prick tests again and seem to be always between 9 and 11 on meter? Have to test again in August so I'm trying to go back to the sensible diet that served me well that first year but I'm worried my levels seem consistently high? Also from day 1 they pushed a Statin on me which I've resisted as believed i could control my condition without buyt I'm thinking now it nay be wise starting as such high numbers? Any advice gratefully received as after becoming nonchalant i feel back at bottom of the hill again. Thanks.</blockquote>
