[QUOTE="jacks69, post: 233216, member: 39420"] I was started on metformin but i found this made me feel queasy all the time - making me feel constantly worried which seemed to push my levels up higher. I was changed to insulin levermir and nova rapide and no longer have the constant queasiness. Half the battle is feeling well enough to eat properly and exercise enough which is difficult when u feel so rough all the time. Everyone is different and different meds work for diff people - i have a heart condition too so keeping my diabetes under control is really essential for me. I think you really need to see a diabetic nurse on a regular basis and they will guide you through what adjustments you need to make to lifestyle etc - my levels are slowly coming under control but i have been working on them for a long while now - but its essential to have proper guidance - we all know we have to have a good diet etc but its about more than that. Support is really beneficial and you may only need slight adjustments to bring things under control - take heart that there is a lot of support out there - i was offered a educational course called Desmond Training - dont know if you have one of them in your area - your diabetic nurse can advise - its a one day course where all the specialists are there to give u advice and guidance and i know a lot of people have benefited from it - good luck [/QUOTE]
