Thanks for all the replies, I hadn't realised the effect Glicazide was having on my beta cells. I wish my GP had explained at the time, perhaps I would have made a different decision.

A bit of background. I am a 52 overweight female diagnosed with type 2 diabetes some 5 years ago. I was prescribed Metformin from the off but it struggled to keep my BG levels in check e.g. I was called by my GPs out of hours service after one BG reading was so high they wanted to check I was...

Hmmm this does sound interesting as I do love my noodles :) Was this with the dry egg noodles or the Amoy - Straight to Wok again?

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 13.6 today :( due to the steriods I'm on.

Thank you all for the great advice and I hope you all have a good weekend :D

I am meeting up with a couple of cousins that I haven't met for 30 year this weekend. They are big drinkers and in my past so was I. Alcohol is going to be a big part of this get together and I am trying to come up with the best way to handle it. My current plan is to drink only Dry Martini...

You know it makes sense :D
