[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 923693, member: 43498"] Welcome, Loupott. I will tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who has some info for newbies she can post for you. I take it you have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and the other new tablet is a sulfonylurea of some kind, eg gliclazide, glipazide? If you feel unwell, please call NHS Direct on 111 for advice, or go to a walk in centre or see a doctor some other way. Do you have any nausea or fatigue? Are you thirsty and needing to pass urine more often than usual? These are symptoms of hyperglycaemia and if they get bad, you could need medical attention. I will try to keep things as simple as I can. I think the most important thing is to reduce your carbs like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, and cereal (including porridge/oats). I take it you already have a meter and test strips? If so, that will be a big help. Once your blood glucose levels are coming down, you can take a deep breath and start planning out all the things you can do to look after yourself and prevent complications. We can help you :) By the time you see your DN things will be much better. [/QUOTE]
