Hi All, new member here and this is my first post.
I have been T2 for 3 years now, and I will be honest, I havent really started managing it properly (skipping meds, or not taking them at the right time etc etc).
I really struggle getting down to a 5 on my meter even if I only eat once a day. I dont drink sugary drinks, I do exercise and i dont eat sweets very often.
Meds wise I am on 6 Metformin and 2 Glyclizide a day, I am overweight but i have steadily lost weight over the past year or so.
Morning levels are regularly in the 15 and dont come back down to 5 until late afternoon, hence only eating once a day.
I seem to be getting A LOT of some kind of oily substance in my urine. I assume its oily as its rainbow coloured and I dont know if this a good thing like fat leaving the body or liver, or, if its something i should worry about. This has been happening for over 2 years now.
I also have problems with hydration. no matter how much water or green tea I drink my urine is always a very dark yellow, and in the mornings almost a yellow brown, like something else is coming out with the urine and mixing with it to change its colour (only the mornings though).
Can anyone offer me some advice?
