5.6 after late dinner at 10pm of breaded chicken breast and breaded mushrooms. Semi LC. I am introducing some carbs back in after the numbers I had on holiday after the illness where full fat coke, a piece of sugar crust sponge and 2 pieces of chocolate cake, after 2hours 7.5! Was expecting a massive spike but it did not happen.

4.5 at 6am !!! My lowest fasting yet!! I actually tried a couple of squares of cheese before bed, maybe kept the fairies busy?!! I actually had 4.4, 4.7 and 4.9 during the day yesterday too and had gone to bed on 5.2 after a cup of options hot chocolate (5gm carb) which I put a shot of double cream in to bulk out

LADA was suggested when I was first diagnosed, but when I took Gliclazide for the first time it worked really well so the GP said it was definitely Type 2. I spoke to the Diabetic Nurse at the hospital yesterday and she said I would definitely need to go onto insulin and as soon as possible so I think that's next on the agenda.

I have lost a stone and a half which is quite nice though

4.8 this morning.

 

[brettsza]

Well everyone seems to loose weight but I have gained 4 kilos although I am still ok in terms of bmi but really worried about it, I tend to gain weight very quickly hence the reason I Always used to avoid any fried things or butter or full fat milk and stuff
I have my bloods in about 15 days time and will know my cholesterol levels too then but i am on statins anyways.

Just want to know one thing What does metformin actually do
I was told by diabetic nurse that it does not really reduce your sugars and doc said you dont need to check everyday as metformin will reduce your sugars
