Hi
I have been a type 2 diabetic for over 7 yrs now. I have had a personal family doctor here in Niagara Falls Canada for about a year now. Before him, I went to walk in clinics. It's hard to get a family doctor in my area. I read some bad review online about this doctor but went to him anyway because it's tough to get one. Anyway, he suddenly reduced my diabetes medication a couple weeks ago. I had just had my blood work done to get my A1c test and results. Three months ago the A1c test was 5. This time a couple weeks ago , it was 6. The doctor thought that was too low. He told me to cut my Metformin dosage by half. Instead of 2--500mg pills in am and 2--pills at supper time, now it's only one at breakfast and one st supper. He had me stop taking my 1 glyberide pill in the morning... So no more glyberide at all. He had me stop taking the cholesteral medication (statins) that I was on.
I have never had problems with low blood sugar. I never passed out. Occasionally, it may have gone down to 4 ( the Measurement they use mostly in a Canada) the target range is 5 to 7.
Most of the time my personal blood testing was between 6 and 9. Now in the last couple weeks it's always reading between 8 and 11. It's always high and never in the target range. In exercising and eating very little and keeping track of my calories. The last week I have been on a diet consisting of pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds, blueberries and Chick Peas. Total intake was about 60 grams of that stuff 3 or 4 times a day, which was only about 1200 to 1500 calories per day. In addition I also had 2 large coffees with double cream and sweetener each day. I still don't see why my sugar should be so high. I think my doctor cut my meds back way way too much. I feel like I can't eat... Like I'm expected to live like a lab rat. Is my A1c testing at 5 and 6 really bad at all? I always thought that would be good.
