[QUOTE="respondicus, post: 2324889, member: 532539"] Following my annual diabeitc checkup with the nurse and my finding my diabetes is unstable i was prescribed alogliptin in addition to my 2000mg of metformin. (I am recently diagnosed with AF and possible heart failure) and so on a lot of new medications. I was told by the nurse to report back to her if my blood sugars were not improving. I monitored for just over a week and found my sugars increasing, the last measurement I took was 19.6 and I am feeling very sleepy. I spoke to her again today and she now says I should not be testing at all (and that I shouldnt have been testing prior to our meeting). I am stunned by this one of the medications I am on is known o cause sugar spikes, at the moment my general health is really bad (on a bad day I cannot even get out of bed) my stomach is badly swollen yet she says I am simply overeating due to the lockdown (which I am not) To come back to the post..I am not happy that I know that my blood sugars ar so far out of kilter and I am also told not to keep a check on them either? Can this be right? I am not asking for strips, but the instruction is to cease from monitoring? Please advise I am extremely worried over this [/QUOTE]
