On the 17th November I was taken off my diabetes medication Metformin 500mg x 2 twice a day as I was undertaking tests for a recurring infection. 3 days later I had a blackout. My tests are still ongoing and I'm due to go to the Blackout Clinic on the 25th January. After a recent blood test I've just had a text message from the doctors advising that my hb1ac and BG levels were too high. Hb1ac was 84 and BG was 14.3. I'm still off my medication and not due a review until 10th January. Please could you give me some advice on reducing my BG levels.
