Hi all,

I've been a lurker for many years...but I've got myself so worked up I need to splurge!

I've been T2 for 10 years now, and am currently on Exenatide, metformin & gliclazide.

My latest HBA1C is too high. Last year it was spot on - and the background retinopathy I had last year has gone this year...but, like I say, this HBA1C was too high.

So, the nurse has got me testing twice daily until my appointment with her a week tomorrow. Bloods have ranged between 12 & 14, regardless of what time I've tested. I've got myself in a complete state about it to be honest.

Just don't understand what's gone wrong...I have had a bout of gastroenteritis and a UTI recently. Is infection enough to push sugars up that much? What on earth am I doing wrong to have such bad results when they were so good?

Apologies for the outpouring!

Hi, dont worry to much when you get ill it has an effect in your bloods, ive been a t1 for 12 years and have to have extra insulin when I feel a bit green so that could poss be why and its tsking your body a bit of time to get back to normal
