sorry Carl, I can't help as I'm only on tablets :)

Who says you have to go without breakfast? Try a couple of boiled eggs, an omelette, or some greek yoghurt with a few blueberries. I personally have flax and almond "porridge" which I really enjoy, with bacon egg and mushrooms as a treat! I think very very few of us Type 2's would be able to...

Carl, Waving from Wales as well :) It took me nearly 6 months to get my levels down to an acceptable(ish) from about where you started. I can't eat anything like shredded wheat, bread or potatoes at all. A Ryvita is a treat! So are sweet potato chips. It might be an idea just to try without...

Metformin does this to me as well but it does seem to be easing a bit now. I find a warm bath before bed helps.

:clap: you'll get there!

:wave: at Dave :)

The most important thing you can do Bran is to get yourself a meter so you can see how various foods affect your levels. Don't expect the Metformin to do all the work, because it simply doesn't work like that. What works for you is very much a personal journey, but try not to get too hung up on...
