Recently I was experiencing a lot of bad days with my blood sugar levels. My HbA1c ws at 8.9, which means my average over the previous three months was around 200-212 every time I checked my sugar levels. My Doctor and I were at a loss as to why my levels were so high but I went to a specialist. the specialist put me on a very low carbohydrate diet and I began to track everything that I ate. When I returned to myspecialist 3 months later my HbA1c was down to 6.5. this means my daily averages were down to around 121.
My doctor then decided to put me on a new medication. I was already taking 20 mg of Glipizide and 40 units of insulin. Now I am on 2000mg of metformin.
It has been 4 weeks now since I started this new med and I have been seeing glucose readings of 70-75 and the highest I have had in the last 2 weeks is 135. I think that I am being over medicated. I say this because I have not been getting the physical exercise that I usually get(this helps keep my glucose levels down) and yet I am seeing great numbers. I know that I should be exercising more and bringing down the numbers naturally but if this is working why should I kill myself with exercise?
