Hi everyone, I'm 3 weeks in being diagnosed type2 and I don't have a clue what's happening. I'm on metformin SR now 500mg twice daily. I get symptoms of awful cold sweats all over my body, hair soaking wet, sweat running down my face. I also feel sick, shaky, dizzy and exhausted. This happens about 4-5 times daily and I'm waking up 3 or 4 times a night to go to the loo, so hungry and with milder symptoms, sweat and feeling sick.
My nurse at my GP says wait to speak to the diabetic nurse. I feel I have had no info apart from a diabetes UK printed info sheet
My blood sugar is normally between 7 and 8 when I have these symptoms. Surely I'm not having hypos? I've read that T2 don't get hypos on metformin. Any info would be appreciated. Apologies for the long post, I'm at my wits end here.
