    Night shifts 4 on 4 off

    Been working 4 on 4 off night shift for the last 2 years, but struggling now to keep my sugars in check. They're constantly in the 9s and 12s. Try to keep meal times the same all week but whenever I eat before bed or any form of sleep during the day it spikes. I'm an hgv driver so insulin based...

    Weight gain

    Hi , I would actually like to gain some weight. I'm 6 foot and barely 10 stone and look like a bean pole! Problem is whenever I eat carbs or put any weight on my levels go right up! I get fed up with porridge! I'm type 2 on metformin and alaglyptin. Many thanks Derek

    Carbs

    Why is it I can eat a bacon and egg sandwich Brown bread and not get a spike but I ate 3 ryvita-origonal with a little corned beef for lunch and 2 hours later my sugars are around 10.5? Many thanks Derek

    Pills not working very well type 2

    Hi, I am on metformin and alaglyptin for my type 2, I'm underweight but still trying to cut carbs however even after a small bowl of porridge or a couple of sugar free biscuits my sugars shoot up to 13+ and takes about 3 hours to return below 7 Always hungry too!

    Type 2 Type 2 diet

    Hi. I am type 2 currently taking metformin and anagliptin but am struggling to keep levels down. I cut down on carbs but I am not an overweight diabetic and definitely do not need to lose weight. What can I eat that won't push my sugar levels up but doesn't make me lose weight? Many thanks
