I'm a diabetic for 22 years, but since the past 2 years it seems to be unstable and progressing. My weight is slowly rising despite no diet change.

Hi Mmagozee ,

Welcome to the group. Please feel free to continue posting postings/comments, reading and posting comments, take the polls on the polls section, asking questions and of course, meeting the rest of the members in the group.

When was your last Endocrinology appointment? What had your doctor say about the numbers and weight issues? Do you count carbs. for each meal and/or snack? Are you type 1 or 2?

Please check out the Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation's website for the free leaflets on " A Healthy Diet and Diabetes " and "Exercise and Diabetes". Go to: drwf.org.uk/diabetes-leaflets

I hope this helps.

Me too. I'm fed up with it. What can we do?

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to kari-glasgow]

Can you please explain?

[kari-glasgow]

Oops. Sorry. I mean about the unstable and progressing and the weight. I cut down carbs, exercise daily, no naughty snacks. My sugar is still high and no weight loss.

Have you asked your Endocrinologist about the issue? What had he/she suggested you do?

[kari-glasgow in reply to Activity2004]

He gave me gliclazide. After a few days it seems to be improving. But I had a hypo the first day. Need to be careful. Thanks for asking though.
