Hi all,
I’m new to this so please bare with me. I was diagnosed around October 2022 with type 2 diabetes after having my second HBA1C as 67. I was started on metformin however sugars didn’t improve. I’ve now been out on Gliclazide 40mg 2x morning 3x evening. However, my sugars still aren’t improving.
Im averaging between 12-18mmol when testing (at least 3times a day before meals). My ketone readings have only ever gone as high 0.3.
Im waiting for an appointment to see a consultant but does anyone have any suggestions what I can try to bring them down? I’ve changed my diet (following dieticians advice) I’ve increased my exercise levels too.
The difficulty is I don’t fit the ‘profile’ of your average type 2 diabetic. I weigh around 10 stone and approx 5foot 6 in height. It’s getting to me now as no matter what im trying, nothings working.
Many thanks
Luke
