Thank you for the above replies. Hmmmmm I have to say that I DO think, unless the post is too 'radical', we should be allowed to make up our own minds - were all adults after all. However, as I didn't see the original post that seems to have caused upset I guess I should keep quiet. I just hope...

Blimey, what a lot of interesting replies! It will take a while to try out the different combinations etc, but sure I will get there in the end!

I will give the things you suggest a go. I try to do the right things, need to lose weight, I'm about 21st at the mo so thought porridge would be good. Long and bumpy journey this diabetes lark aint it lol

This morning my pre breakfast BG was 8.4. After a breakfast of I mug of coffee (skimmed milk) and a 40g portion of porridge oats made with skimmed milk my BG two hours later was 9.4 :( I thought porridge oats were good. I am starting metformin next week (500mg once a day for a week and then...
