[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 167567, member: 8110"] I have been on Metformin for 7 1/2 years, initially 3 x 500mg with 40m Gliclazide then for a bit 1 x 60mg Starlix with each meal and for the last few years 2 x 500mg and dropped the Gliclazide Hb A1c in the 5s. My GP warned me they are trying to get everyone on to insulin, but what aare they going to do about test strips if they do? I Don't Need insulin I control my carbs. Landsman, you say your chef wife cooks low fat and no sugar. the low fat isn't an issue for diabetics. Tou can use as much fat qas you like, it won't affect your BG. Starches however and to a lesse extent proteins WILL. In fact 10grams of starch will raise your blood glucose twice as much as 10 grams of sugar. Starches convert to glucose in the body and are a trap for unwary diabetics. Hana [/QUOTE]
