Thanks I will try a high protein breakfast. dr just said wait until 10 am to take the metformin. Lesley I talk some of the things you do and I also rattle lol

When I take my metformin after breakfast it gives me (embarrasping) diarrhea for an hour or so. Question has the metformin left the building lol should I take more. Testing my blood sugar is scary if it’s way up after eating a proper breakfast I go over the edge for the rest of the day. I am...

I understand what you all are going through. I have to see my Dr this morning and am very anxious. He just doesn’t understand what we go through. Can we help each other?

At 6:30 sugar was 9.6. Had 1 slice of toast with peanut butter at 7:30. Did a little exercise. In the morning. Checked sugar before lunch it is now 10.5. Now I am depressed and don’t want to eat but now am hungry. Normal for me is in the high sixes and low sevens. Just can’t get on an even keel...

I have been trying to take metformin and berberine 3 of each. Gives me horrible GI problems. Numbers are all over the place. Just really discouraged . Also have sunrise syndrome and a late night protein snack is not working any more. Morning numbers low 7 to high 8’s. If I exercise the numbers...

I am in Canada really want to belong but I can’t figure out how to post new requests. Everything I see is quite old. Wondering if I can get a tutorial on how to navigate this site.

My morning reading was 7.5 and rising before breakfast. Everyone here has such low reading it is discouraging with sunrise syndrome. I don’t know what to do.

I had egg bits for breakfast and 2 hrs later bs 7.9. Read on this site that drink water and take a walk would help. So that is what I did but an hour later bs up to 9.7. I don’t know what to do, is it slow metabolism or a liver dump? Frustrated this stuff is stressing me out which raises my bs...

These are both really good posts. Would love to see this topic expanded.

I have fallen off the sugar wagon and can’t get back on. I don’t have a confidant. Getting very tired with all the fall yard work and nothing to reward myself with but food. Any suggestions?

Has this video hacked this site. I couldn’t watch to the end so didn’t know if it’s a scam. Can anyone tell me? Seems to good to be true.

I had an egg bite for breakfast. It is a thing here in Canada. It’s egg peppers onions basil cottage cheese bacon and or cheese baked in the over. It has zero carbs and a good amount of protein. My bs was 8.2 two hours after. I went on stressful errand then did an hour of heavy yard work. I...

Can anyone explain the process of your liver dumping sugar into your blood. I know it happens during the night and I have solved that problem with a late protein snack. Can it happen between breakfast and lunch if you don’t snack? Getting discouraged by huge bs even with a proper breakfast.
