Time I checked in I guess !
I reported to my doctor that i'd been having quite a bit of mild nausea and indigestion lately.
Being on 850 mg of Metformin twice a day, he wasn't surprised. Aparently Metformin can be harsh on your gut.
So, my regime has been changed to 500 mg of Metformin twice a day and the Gliclazide changed to one 30mg Diamicron (same drug) slow release. He also said that there was a slow release Metformin out, which would be gentler on the gut, but he hadn't had time to evaluate it yet.
So far the blood glucose readings have been as good as ever - first thing in the morning - between 5 and 7 , and around 2 hours after breakfast and the pills - between 6 and 9.
Here's a sample of readings :
(first one taken as soon as I get up in the morning, second one - 2 hours after breakfast and pills)
11-Apr- 5.8 , 8.1
12-Apr- 5.6 , 5.9
13-Apr- 6.1 , 6.7
15-Apr- 6.5 , 7.3
16-Apr- 5.4 , 9.9
17-Apr- 5.4 , 7.3
18-Apr- 5.7 , 7.8
19-Apr- 5.9 , 10.2
23-May- 6.8 , 9.1
24-May- 6.3 , 6.5
25-May- 6.2 , 5.7
26-May- 6.2 , 6.2
Hypo episodes (blood sugar getting too low) have not been as frequent in the last few months.
I must be getting better at remembering to eat every 2 - 3 hours.
