I have been having high blood sugar readings for a long while now. Ive just been put on insulin <a href="/treatments/lantus">Lantus</a> with 12 units and taking 2 x <a href="/treatments/metformin">metformin</a> tablets and 1 gliclazide. Today my bsl have improved to below 10.0 last reading at 7.3. However im feeling lightheaded and wanting to drop and pass out. Has anyone felt like this. Im home alone with 2 babies...im scared.

I had problems on <a href="/treatments/metformin">metformin</a> with blood sugar lows even when the dose was cut in half.....might be the med...inform your doctor

i was having this problem and my diabetic nurse said it is because my bloods have been high and now they have dropped that i feel like i am having a low she said take my bloods and have something to eat but not sugar eat just something small like a sandwhich or cracker or something not to reach for the jelly beans its your bodies way of tricking you into eating sugar

Geez, I don't even have a diabetes nurse. My current doctor refuses to refer me into the diabetes clinic. I had a cortisone injection into my ruined knee and tonight my BS is 400-errrr
