I went on holiday in may, my monitor broke the first day so took my metformin as usual(2 twice daily) but no readings, on the second week I got terrible thirsts and was drinking gallons of water, I hadn't had much different food and I dint drink alcohol. On returning I was in hospital 2 days later so didn't get chance to get a new meter, but hospital took it and it was 26! They took it daily a few times and it was never lower than 20. I got a new meter and started testing again and bearing in mind I have had 3 months bed rest, I went to my GP he gave me a glycacide to take at lunch, went back after a fortnight and levels still above 18, he gave me another glycoside to take and said he can't give me anything else, I will be referred back to hospital. Does this mean I am heading towards insulin? I am really upset and don't know what had happened? Anyone shed light on it for me? Thanks, Deb
