Message: <blockquote data-quote="cazza54" data-source="post: 1096804" data-attributes="member: 110410">Thank you for the replies, guys.Mep, I wish the nurse had elaborated about the “liver problem” but she wouldn’t. She just said “sometimes these things sort themselves out, we will test again though to make sure”. I wasn’t aware that Metformin works on the liver. I wasn’t even sure if the issue was connected to Diabetes in any way. Del, your history does sound familiar to my own.  My immediate issue with the high readings is that it is leaving my head “befuddled” and making it difficult to concentrate at work. I work from home, thank goodness, as I am finding myself falling asleep over the computer. It is a “really can’t keep my eyes open” type of sleep, and when I wake up I am surprised that I had dropped off. I am also having trouble with the seeing the screen at times, it goes a bit blurry.AndBreathe, nice to hear from you again. Yes, I managed to keep the weight off, and in fact it has been dropping again recently without me doing anything different. I have lost almost 8 stone altogether now.Two injections a day sounds manageable. My breakfast is usually the same each day, as is lunch, dinner varies but I only have potatoes on a Sunday and the rest of the week the meals are low carb. For example last night I had a salmon steak with sautéed mushrooms and courgettes. This was at 6.30pm. I didn’t eat again until breakfast today and woke up with a fasting glucose of 13.1. As you say, it is disheartening.  It seems I only have to look at food for it to rise. The only thing that brings it down is walking. Yesterday, I dd a half hour walk with the dogs and it brought it down from 14.1 to 8.2. The same walk today though, only brought it down 2 points. Big sigh.</blockquote>
