[QUOTE="LAHend, post: 1417587, member: 387009"] My dad is T2 and on glicliside - (possible near to insulin, as levels still high) trying to bring his levels down at the moment, they are always usually about 10ish or above. He is really struggling trying to bring them down. He doesn't check levels in the morning,should he? Doc said don't take levels too often as they will fluctuate. He was unwell recently and not eating and that's when his levels were lowest. He is trying to cut out carbs and checks sugar level on most things he is eating but as soon as he starts eating again after being unwell his levels go up. He's unsure y? He ate brown bread and butter, bran flakes and a few bruschetta bites (low in sugar he thinks) Level was 12.6. Had a curry with some rice and a little nan etc later and 1.5 hrs later his level was 10.2 but he was expecting it to be even higher than the 12.6. Very confusing?! [/QUOTE]
