Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking on here on and off for a few years. Thanks for all the ideas and inspiration
I've decided now is the time to get serious about better control, weight loss etc and have been doing 16:8 and minimal carbs for around 3 weeks now. First thing to say is that within a couple of days I saw my first EVER meter reading with a 5 at the beginning, amazing! I even saw 4.9 once! If only somebody hadn't left a big bar of caramel chocolate in the fridge that time though....
I'm wondering if anyone can advise me about meds ! I am on Metformin 1000mg twice a day and forxiga 10 once a day. I am not eating until 12 or 1 but have been taking the meds as usual with my coffee and cream around 9 am. I quite often forget the evening Metformin as I'm no longer sitting down to a big meal, or sometimes I just take 1. I am still getting fasting blood sugars of 6 or 7 though which is irritating. It is 12 o'clock now and I've just tested at 5.9, it was 6.quitealot at around 10 and I've had one cup of coffee with cream since 8pm last night. Actually I've just realised that's not true... Does Yorkshire Tea with milk in the evening make a lot of difference? Surely there can't be that many carbs in a slug of goats milk??
I kind of feel that while fasting bloods are still high I should take the meds in the morning but don't know if that is logical if I'm not eating.
Anyone got any ideas about this?
Thanks in advance
