Aw Doddy :( I do hope that that time comes very soon - have you got any more appointments lined up?
 
Good evening everyone I woke with a 3.1 this morning. The question is do I reduce levemir again tonight?
 
oh dear....20.6 for me this morning :(

No appointments booked as yet...apart from eyes this week. I have a feeling i have to book an appointment for when I finish my first month and need more tablets...

I know it's only been 2 weeks, but the metformin has made no difference yet...the complete opposite..Im just going up and up!

Doddy, I'm concerned that your levels are still so persistently high (and seemingly increasing despite the medication and the modifications you have made to your diet). I would make another appointment with your doctor now and ask him to explain why your levels are still so high a month after diagnosis. I know it's early days for the meds, but if you are not consuming much in the way of carbs yet you still have such high levels, then I think your diagnosis might need reassessing. I've been on this forum since it started and heard hundreds of people's experiences in the early days after diagnosis, and it's very rare that people consistently report no improvements at all at your current stage.

Please make that appointment and stand your ground - find out what's happening about the possibility of Byetta also, but you do need a better explanation of why your levels are so high still.

Will the GP have the hump cuz she told me not to test anymore - she said there was little point.
I have changed my diet...as far as I understand to (if that makes sense).
I am just worried the GP will tell me to just persevere with it all.
