Hi Guys
Wondering if anyone else is on MF? I've been on it a while and taking 1000mg at dinner time along with insulin. Was at my DAFNE apt last week and took my diary in and spoke to the Sister. Basically my BG is all over the place and I couldn't see a pattern. They suggested taking one tablet at dinner time and the other in the morning. I have to say major difference and my BGs are single figures however I feel ill. Sicky feeling, weak, burping, more hypos and dipping round about lunch and late at night so I have enough readings to see a pattern and I can reduce my ratios from 2:1 -1:5 and lower if needs be. I just wanted to know if anyone else went through this, really struggling to feel normal and can't pass the ill feeling!!
