So I was diagnosed as borderline a few months ago. Then I went on a cruise and 1) drank far more alcohol than I ever have in my life and 2) got Covid. After coming back, I had a test that showed my mmol/L as 23. I started treatment on metformin 1000mg. No change. Upped by the nurse to 2000mg. No change. Added gliclazide 80mg. No change. gliclazide 160mg. No change. Now I'm changing to gliclazide 320mg and... I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and guess there will be no change.
I'm not sure why this is happening all so suddenly. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you think covid could be the cause?
I've searched around and the only similar topics I found had people suggesting it could be T1. I guess this could be the case, but to be blunt... I'm fat as hell, so it's probably T2.
Thinking about it, I say no change. Not in glucose levels. But my symptoms (constant thirst, needing to pee in the night) have improved a lot.
