Pe byddwn i wedi gwybod eich bod i gyd yn dod, byddwn wedi pobi siwgr cacen yn rhad ac am ddim. This morning I went to the seaside where I was approached by a big old donkey. I asked him if he would like some carrots? He replied neeeeeeeiiiiiggggghghhhhhhh lad but your waking blood sugars are 3.6mmols. It's Friday and the weekend starts right here, right now. I hope you all do good stuff.

Metformin will take time to build up in your system before it starts to work to full effect. Please pardon my ignorance but if your diabetic control was very good without it and from what you have posted it would appear that it was very good then why have you started taking it?

 

[Diabeticliberty]

I know that feeling LOL

Type 1 or type 2 I think we all know that feeling

200 grams of carbs is way more carbs than most type 2 can manage... try to go under 150 grams of carbs a day.. or even under 100 grams of carbs..the easiest way is to eat a breakfast almost without carbs like bacon and eggs or half an avocado with shrimps and mayo or salsa sauce ... or cheese and ham (no bread or if you want bread try Lidl protein rolls ... they are almost without carbs..) guess there is reason why you have started taking metformin usually because one's body cannot by itself regulate blood glucose down... .. haven´t heard that people get higher blood glucose from metformin... but metformin only helps very little like lowering under I think it is 6 % ... but not really sure... the most reliable way to lower blood glucose is usually to lower carbs and not eat more protein than around 1 grams pro kg bodyweight
sugar and other carbs except from fibres is really equally damaging to a type 2 diabetic
