Message: <blockquote data-quote="chriswalke" data-source="post: 106579" data-attributes="member: 16743">HiI have been diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic for four or five years now (forget precisely how long!!). ON initial diagnosis I was prescribed 30mg gliclazide which worked very weel for a time, so much so that I found myself having to eat emergency rations as my blood sugars would, occasionally dip too low. As time went on my blood sugars started to rise to the pint that I was prescribed 500md metformin as well as the same gliclazide, Again this worked for a perios and to cut a long story short I now take two gliclazide (30mg) and two 850mg metformin tablets (in morning and evening) per day together with an aspirin, cadesartan, ramipril and simvastatin. However it is now noticeable that my sugars are rising to higher levels, sometimes 16, and more often that before. My sugars first thing this morning were 12.4. My latest HBa1C was 7.4. My doctor has never offered any advice on this but merely states that my HBA1C is acceptable and just keep measuring. I have never been offerred dietary advice and feel somewhat ignored and frustrated. I have been to my doctors on at least four occasions this year querying the blood sugar levels but came away feeling that I was just wasting their time. Keep taking the tablets. I am a little worried as to complicate matters I do only have one kidney and I would like the opportunity to preserve its life and I believe that the increase in my blood sugar levels will eventually have an effect on its function. I already have early gae cataracts in both eyes, reportedly and possible to to the onset of diabetes which are to be operated on in the near future. Any advice or feedback would be most welcomed.</blockquote>
