I'm glad Rosie, this is a step in the right direction. The dietician should be able to help you work out a reasonable diet that works for you. Hopefully the new pills will help lower your blood sugars and you'll finally start to feel better.

Good to hear you've got a dietician lined up Rosie 🙂 Having high levels makes me feel queasy also, not nice 
Hopefully, once you can get the levels lower you will feel much better. Some people find that drinking peppermint or ginger tea can help with the sickly feeling.
Did they say when your appointment might be?

Hi Rosie,
if your blood glucose is to high it has a lot to do with what you are eating.
Just throwing more meds at the problem isn't the only thing to do.
Looking at the amount and type of carbohydrate is no 1 on the list of things to do so you can help your self.
As Sue says, eating the high carb foods does raise ones BS drastically, I was in the same position at the beginning of the year with my BS was in the 20's.
I have changed / cut out fast acting high carb foods (already eating wholemeal bread) and have been put on other meds alongside the metformin, ie gliclazide. This sort of med does help in getting ones BS down. Though there is a draw back to some of these meds.
I still have wild swings in my BS from the lowest I have been of 2.6 to a peak of over 16.0 (bad day). I generally swing between the 4.0's and 12.0 (still too high)
The draw back for me is these meds make one feel very hungry and one tends to eat more (try telling oneself not to eat when hungry). The other problem is with me due to the swings I some times have to eat to the meter especially when I get the meals wrong. There is no skipping meals as this would mean an hypo very quickly if the meal is eaten very late or skipped, been there and had the T shirt as they say.
