Thankyou to ll the people who have supported me here or answered my questions.
I have found the Freestyle Libre to be invaluable to help me with diabetes.
I reported a week ago that the Libre meter showed me at over 14 mmol/litre for a day and I took that as a kick up the backside (I suspect that as someone said the meters read high sometimes as they bed in).
Following a low carb diet and also taking Glycazide and Metformin again I am averaging 8.8 over the last 24 hours and never over 10
Yesterday later on I was feeling a bit out of sorts so did not eat much all day and this seemed to have a beneficial effect on my glucose levels. I don't want to stop eating because I feel ill, but maybe some planned fasting would be a good idea.
I have also started eating smaller breakfasts - natural yoghurt and blueberries this morning.
I had two peaks in blood sugar on Saturday - one from eating porridge for breakfast and one later when I had a bread roll with pakora. I wont be giving up porridge, however I wonder if this is telling me my metabolism has changed and I have to be careful with the carbs.
