Thanks everyone for taking the time out to comment. I do think my body just needs a little bit of help on a morning and I have a review with my GP in a couple of weeks so I'll have a chat with him and see if a morning dose of metformion will help. In the meantime I am going to try and pick up...

Hi Eliminator Thanks for the response. I am on diet only at the moment and i feel like i'm getting control slowly but surely, it's just the period between breakfast and lunch i can't get to grips with. I would be happy if i would stay around the 7's or 8's 2 hours after breakfast but i can...
