[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2509946, member: 372717"] An issue here is that your medication is struggling to help you process the carbs in your diet. There's only so much they can do to tackle the insulin resistance in your body and they typically tend to work less well as time progresses. . The traditional medication route consists of treatment via progressively stronger medication, with the final and last resort being insulin injections. (It used to be that doctors reckoned that most/many T2s ended up on insulin after ten years, but there are now more non insulin treatments which hopefully push this time scale out a bit. In any case, the drugs pretty well all have side effects, so though the stronger ones may be better at controlling your levels they tend not to be used unless the milder drugs no longer work. eg metformin is renowned for giving some people gastric issues, while forxiga gets rid of sugar by passing it out through your urine, so makes you more prone to UTIs ) The two most popular alternatives to this are 1) weight loss - some people find that losing weight can reduce or eliminate their diabetic symptoms and increased exercise can also help a bit. 2) diet - by reducing the carbohydrates that you eat to a level that your body can cope with many folk on here find that there blood sugar levels go down and they reduce or eliminate medication. This is my favourite link that explains T2 and low carb [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog/jokalsbeek.401801/[/URL] (I see [USER=155453]@catinahat[/USER] already posted this. :)) [/QUOTE]
