[QUOTE="Missfairybell, post: 1481808, member: 403120"] Hi Recently diagnosed with an HbA1c of 96 and put on 1x500mg slow release Metformin and told to double the dose after 2 weeks. The double dosage really didn't agree with me so I have gone back down to one tablet. Feeling very shaky this morning and when I tested my blood sugars it came out as 15.4. When first diagnosed I was pleased (not the usual reaction I'm sure) but it at least meant, after months of suffering, I knew what was wrong and could work towards a healthier me but a couple of weeks later I have hit a real low and am struggling to stay positive. The more I read about diabetes, however, the more confused I seem to be getting. The main thing I've picked up on is a low carb diet - I've invested in a spiralizer and courgetti is my new best friend! Any tips will be gratefully received, particularly your thoughts on how you stay positive. Thank you [/QUOTE]
