[QUOTE="christinemaria, post: 349771, member: 54542"] Don't panic Andy.... Yes your sugar was high, mines been in the 20's before and now it's normal range. You are on Metformin which is the milder of the medications, if the doctor was that concerned you would be started on Gliclazide to bring the sugar down fast and then put on Metformin once it was down.... or straight on insulin. Your blood pressure was extremely high but maybe it was because you were at A&E and feeling anxious...... Nowadays diabetes isn't what it used to be, as long as you get that sugar down to a safe level i.e. 4-7 before meals and up to 8.5 two hours after a meal and keep it there you will be fine. My doctor told me that if you have 100 diabetics in a room and they all had their sugars under control, only 4 will have complications. Cut out rice, pasta, potatoes and bread, also sugar and flour products, this will bring your sugar down and you should be fine........ don't panic ...... you're NOT about to die :D [/QUOTE]
