I am taking Byetta x 2, Metformin 500 x 4 and Glimiperide.... x1 along with countless other poisons

Edit: I reckon someone injects me with carbs in my sleep!
 
@ellagy - Just been reading about Glimiperide on the internet. (Not heard of this drug). Do you follow any particular type of Diet? Perhaps doing some form of exercise may help to burn up some glucose like going for a walk?

I wish I could go for a walk Liam1955 but I live at the top of a hill and getting back up it takes it out of me. My back gives me a lot of pain when I walk too... and my right leg! A case of 'I would if I could but I cant'. Been LCHF for the last two weeks. Did my FBG before getting out of bed again this morning. Had the same dinner last night as the night before. So unless my husband is sabotaging my meals and he put more sugar in the Cauli mash last night I dunno!

Edit\; we don't put sugar in anything!
 
Maybe it is just a 'one off' high reading @ellagy But, if you are suffering Pain? This could be responsible for pushing up blood sugars. I know only too well what back trouble is like. I have Arthritis in my lower Spine and 2 Herniated Disc's and episodes of Sciatica. But, push myself to keep mobile for fear of stiffening up.
 
Been in agony walking and have to cancel gp appointment tomorrow as needed back at children hospital 9am for his blood tests.
I must remember to cancel when I have some privacy.
Hubby will be missing us and my update call.
Signal off and on too.
Internet cover is fine thou!
Hubby needs a new phone, me thinks.
 
My Goodness Liam1955 you poor thing...at least I don't have the Sciatica!
 
Good luck for your son at the hospital, Vicky. Let us know how he gets on...
Hugs xx
 
Unfortunately not a one off. My bs was 18.8 last sunday and all points inbetween in the last ten days! My pelvis has fused which accounts for the back. No idea what is causing the leg pain. Sending you a gentle backrub.
 
@ickihun - Hello Vicky, been glued to the TV. How did the Consultation at Gateshead go for your Son? Wx

Could your leg pain be scatica? My pelvic joint giving me huge pain and now scatica in leg. Just a thought.
 
@ellagy - Hi . You said your back is fused = Is it Ankylosing Spondylitis that has caused the fusion? And your leg, perhaps you could describe what the pain feels like? Thanks.
 
morning all, hope you are all well.

Funeral today, raise the proverbial glass/cup to Margaret this afternoon, if you will please, for a long life. well lived. Thank you.
Karen xx
