sorry not been about so much ..been having a manic time with shop/kids/diabetes....!
my blood sugar has been rising, wieght going up and I hadnt been called for a check HbA1c since last sept ...
So I saw lovely GP and got Blood tests booked to see whats going on with a view to change around all the Meds 😱
but i am confused because I got new prescription and prpmpty left them at work so had none last night and this morning my BS was the best its been for yonks ..6.4 ! and i felt great !:confused:
 
Hi Am, nice to hear from you 🙂 How strange! Perhaps just the thought that you needed more meds was enough to turn things around! I wonder if your diabetes was feeling all neglected, but then when you took action it realised that you did care about it after all so it has decided to be your friend again? 😉

ummmmmm i dont realy think of my D as a human being with feelings etc ...but i must admit with all thats been going on i have probably been neglecting it 🙄
 
Perhaps you were feeling less stressed once you had acted to try and improve things by seeing the doctor? Hopefully, the good numbers will continue, although I suspect you will need to actually start taking the meds for a while at least 🙂
 
hahaa will do northe ...Id actually recently be trying to increase to 1500 mg because 18months ago another Gp wanted me up to 1800MG which i had tried but i just couldnt tolerate.
as I was aware something wasn't right I thought maybe i should start to increase... but it was really making me feel bad ..so im going to stay on 1000mg till i see gp to discuss results and see whats going on .. he has already suggested something that might be more tolerable ..gliz something ? so we'll see.
 
well took only 1x metformin last night woke to a very nice 6.3 had brek bacon eggy took 1x met ...then 2hrs later following walking dog and shopping 7.0 ...so all looking good 🙂 will carry on testing ...

Just a tad on the high side, but you're not rising much overnight. Did you take one or two tablets?
