Hi there, bit of background, got diagnosed T2 last year on SR metformin 3 tablets with evening meal couldn’t handle side effects of 4 (passing out cold sweats and sickness) lost both my parents within last 11 months Mum only passed 16/11/19..got blood results back yesterday they have gone up to 10.1 could it be all the stress and grief? TIA
 
Sorry to hear of your losses.
Yes stress affects numbers and at times like this we don’t always eat what is best.
Hope you are back on track soon.
 
Aww thank you, tried to eat well but at wrong times I think..they are also saying my potassium is low, should I be concerned?
 
Are you relying on the Metformin or are you eating a low carb diet?
The glucose has to come from somewhere, and if you are eating sugars and starchy foods there isn't going to be a lowering of test results.
I was just conjecturing that you might have put your year of birth in your identity - and if so, you have been blessed to have your parents alive for so long. It must be a great shock though, and you have my greatest sympathy for your losss.
 
H Sorry for your loss , when i got first diagnosed my dad was dying and in a care home, the stress was not a help to my condition , I know how you feel .
I hope you feel some comfort and as time passes the stress will lower and hopefully lower numbers .
Lots of love x
