[QUOTE="Bardon, post: 214028, member: 24748"] Hi. I used to miss meals sometimes for days and always had a high reading, it seemed the less I ate the higher the readings. So I took more meds, always thought that my high reading where due to what I ate. I have gone from readings of 18 to 20 and am now regularaly getting readings below 4, five mins ago it was 2.9. I am cutting my meds from 4 metformin and 4 Glicazide to just 2 metformin by cutting out bread, pasta, rice potatoes and any pastry. I now have 3 spoons of porridge in morning, a piece of chicken, chunk of meat or similar with some salad for lunch and a piece of meat and some veg at night. I aim for a very low carb diet and am now always watching the label on the packet. However If I go out for a meal or on holiday, I don't watch my diet I eat what i want knowing I am going to be higher tomorrow or for a few days, is this wrong?? The one thing I would like to know is what is classed as low carb? Another by product of low carb is I have lost a stone in weight, still fat but happier. [/QUOTE]
