I'm still taking Meloxicam but my BS seems back to normal today, but the pain has really taken off again, it's like someone is sticking a hot poker into my back - so tender. My check up went well and my feet are OK, but it was found that my heartbeat/pulse are too slow which is making me tired all the time. I think it's going to be checked out as my heart is only beating between about 37 - 47 times a minute, and I discovered that this is what has been making me dizzy and faint, it's called Bradycardia, but I don't know if there is any connection to diabetes unless diabetes has caused heart disease (hope not!).
