Hi I spoke to my doctor today and he is not happy with the hb1ac result it is over 9% so I have to take 5mg of glipazide in the morning before breakfast and 5mg before tea and 1000mg metformin before lunch and 1000mg before dinner it seems a massive dose of diabetic tablets and I am worried I will go the other way too low and have a hypo but he says the damage I am doing with having too much sugar in my blood can be really bad. So I am having to get this under control apparently if it is not sorted out in 3 months the next stage is insulin

\\\\So I am having to get this under control apparently if it is not sorted out in 3 months the next stage is insulin \\\\

and THAT my friend is the bottom line.
i am having problems with mine as well,i am on
sitagliptin 100mgs. daily
glictazide 80mgs daily
metformin 1g.twice a day
still my sugar is high ,it fluctuates between 15/28
Gordie, you are the only one who can stop yourself going on insulin, cut your sugar intake as much as possible, STOP eating those large Chocolate cakes, I think you said you're not working at the moment, so get out there and do some walking, it really is good for you.
I was diagnosed as Type 2, 3 or 4 years ago, I took advice, changed my diet (not easy I know) and as a dog owner I already did a lot of walking, I now see the Diabetic Nurse once a year, do not take any medicines at all for it, and have no problems living with it, I'm 60+ by the way.
I've seen the damage it can do to people, toes or even whole feet being amputated, it's not a journey I want to take, and believe me neither do you,
but only you can decide, as Sqad said,
///and THAT my friend is the bottom line.///.........Good Luck!
Dee Sa's terribly sad thread this week just reminds you how serious uncontrolled diabetes can be.

Your future is in your own hands Gordie.
Gordie - just listen this time to your GP - get a grip on your bad eating habits - no more cake and sugar. If you don't, as people have said to you before now - the prospect for your future health is potentially grim. You can do it - just stop buying cake and sugary stuff.
^^^ To be clear I wasn't suggesting that CS had out of control diabetes.

My point was more to do with the overall potential consequent of diabetes.
Eccles - indeed
