Hi everyone. Rang my doctor today for some advice. My diabetes is usually very well controlled. I'm Type 1 diagnosed by way of DKA at 55 years old 4 and a bit years ago. Meter readings in the mid 5s last HbA1c 48. This past week my readings have been creeping up and have been in the 9s and today before lunch it was 11. No apparent reason, diet the same and no apparent illness, always stressed, but that's normal for me. Correction doses are not making much of an impact. I have changed from Sivastatin to Atorvastatin and started on Omeprazole so I asked the doctor if these could be the problem he thinks no, but did say if I was taking the Omeprazole within 2 hours of my Metformin this could prevent the Metformin being absorbed properly. I wasn't told this when prescribed and I am taking them together. What really bothered me was the doctor said not to worry about readings of 9-11 it's ok for a few weeks as no long term problems would develop, but only to worry and maybe test for ketones when my readings are at least 19 or into the 20s. Opinions, experience and thoughts from you lovely people would be very welcome as I'm not reassured. Thanks Carole x
