Hoping someone can explain my problems with my Type 2 which I've had for just over 5 yrs. I'm not good a the diet approach and my meds have gone up and up until now on 4 x 500mg Metformin, just reduced to 2 x 1 Gliclizide (from 2 x 2) and taken of Pioglitizone for new tablet Canna(??). I have...

Hi, I have been having weeks of both nightmares and just plain weird dreams nightly. Had recent HBA1C and my BG is gradually improving down from 11.7 to 8.7 due to change of diet. Discussed reason why I wake up with very high 10 - 13.9 on occasions BG and believe I dip to a low in the night...

Question, I love my cup of tea, occasional cappuccino. Should I be using semi skimmed cow's milk on the LCHF or another type of milk? I need to buy a good plain speaking book to kick this diet off - any other recommendations? Have been on this diet (following as best as I can without buying...

I've had Type 2 since 2010 and been mainly on Metformin until a year or so ago when Gliclizide was added. Had nervous breakdown that year and slipped back into depression this last 12 months after bullying at work. My Diabetes went up to 26 and totally uncontrolled, Glidipion was added to the...
