I have had type 11 diabetes, controlled by diet and exercise, for about 5 years. I dont test myself much anymore but I have recently been feeling quite ill and found my blood sugars were 26. I went to the doctor who has given me Metformin. It has slowly come down to 12 but is now rising again. My pharmacist said this will be to do with cancer and medication rather than the wrong food. My problem is I feel so sick I have only eaten a piece of toast to take my medication in the morning and soup at night.
Has anyone else had this kind of problem and does it sort itself out in the end? My doctor has said to take the medication for a week then see him again.
