[QUOTE="feeyonah, post: 265135, member: 43448"] Agreed my levels are too high. I've not had one below 14 yet BUT Thursday night I attended A&E because it was up to 27 and I was feeling ill and they only agreed to let me go on the understanding that I would be getting my new medication (the metformin) the following afternoon. I was then told off by the nurse (who wasn't concerned about the high reading) for attending A&E and also for checking my blood sugar level. Referring to the testing, she said "we don't encourage people to do that since it doesn't achieve anything and only frightens you. That's why we don't issue testing kits, because it doesn't make a difference if people don't do anything about the levels" and she made me feel like I was fussing and wasting the hospitals time... so now I feel that if I contact either her or my sucky doctor, I will be told not to fuss. As for the tummy issues, I haven't gone to my new job today as they're getting worse rather than better. I rang and spoke to someone and explained the state I was in and she said to keep ringing every day. I then read a handful of horror stories from people who have been told to just get on with it over the years and so they have, and they still have upset tummy every single day. KILL. ME. NOW. I decided this morning to follow the low-carb stuff and so for breakfast I had a 2 egg omelette - which upset my tummy horrifically. Since then I've had a cup of tea and that too upset my tummy. Can't be bothered to empty any more cupboards for stuff I can possibly eat since chances are that too won't last five minutes. I don't want to switch tablets just yet in the hope that this will settle in a few days. Rather than start from scratch again, I think it's worth hanging on for a bit longer. With that said, I have no doubt that at tea time when I can't eat anything at all in the house, I'll be seriously considering stopping the tablets and letting my pancreas kill me... or overdose on cake... whichever! completely fed up.
