Good morning,
I am a diabetic and live in Pretoria.
I have problems controlling my sugar and have to use Type 2 diabetes medication. My problem is I have no idea when it is high or low.
Where in Pretoria can I find a government diabetic clinic? Currently I am unemployed and every time I go to the government hospital my sugar is 37,5 or around there.
I got a glucose meter from Sister Louise Pywell, but can not afford sticks. I know nothing in life is free. Can you please point me in the right direction? I’m having bad headaches and my left foot starts dragging as the muscle went numb.

Hi Alden. You need to urgently get your reading down! I suggest you see a doctor immediately. I would suggest you cut out the sugar and carbs until you can get medical attention. Normal reading for a non diabetic is 4.5, you should be aiming for the mid 5s. You can survive at 7 but any higher and your body is eating itself. I am sure the readers will agree.
