Hi All
Just looking for advice I was on insulin for 10 years , came off it lost a few stone and control has been very good since and was discharged last year from hospital clinic.
I am currently on Metformin 500mg x 4 and Sitaglipin 100mg x 1
I have been having a number of problems over the last couple of months - abscesses etc - however most notably getting up 4-5 times a night - thirst - dry mouth - tiredeness etc.
Went to my GP last week and suggested my control may not be too good however he picked up on another infection and did not check my levels.
I have today bought some test strips and checked my levels which were 13.8 this was 8 hours after a coffee and cereal.
Should I make a further appointment at GP or continue to monitor etc.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
