Hi all,
I saw a new Endo yesterday here in Sydney and I have now cleared out all the old quacks and replaced everyone one of them, GP's Opthomologists, Endo,Pediatrists etc.
As stated in a previous thread i am always high in the morning, 10-11mmol by time i got to bed i am 5-6mmol. in the last 12 months I have had several eye exams for contacts, glasses etc and my last test showed abnormalities in my eyes which turns out to be non threatening Retinopathy. Following this i had HBA1c test and in 3 months it went from 6.7 to 7.9.
So given i was told by all and sundry that there is no problem and I am doing well etc etc I cleared the decks and got a new Endo.
She was really good, suggested i pick up a Fresstyle Libre CGM to see whats happening over night, Changed my medication and added 10mg of Forxiga along with my Januvia(100mg) and Diabex. She has also put plans in place incase this course doesnt work. She also talked about new treatments, meds etc and whats coming up on the horizon
it was nice to see someone who had some urgency and seemed to have new ideas and has been keeping up with the times.
She was impressed that i have gotten my blood pressure down and my cholesterol in just over a month. took them both from way out of range to in range and happy.
First fasting reading on the new regime was an 8.0mmol. So an improvement already.,
Hoping this goes well

. In the meantime, the less carbs you eat, the less sugar you will pee out, and the lower the chance of the med causing thrush. I have been on it 6 months while also low carbing and have had no problems at all. Good luck to you, it sounds as though you are getting it figured out
