I have been taken off the Metformin after being on it for 2 years- I was told to try without as I have lost 15kg of weight and my glucose levels have been good. I stopped straight away- not sure if that was a good thing- maybe I should have just missed a tablet and done it over a couple of days!
I have started to test my bloods- I got 7.4 reading 2 1/2 hours after lunch yesterday- fresh mussles, a large mixed salad (lettuce, red pepper, tomato and cucumber) for pudding I had 3 small strawberries and 4 tsp cremosa sugar/fat free yoghurt
Mid afternoon I had a small pear for a snack
Evening meal reading 8.1 before (ate late as it was hot) had cold chicken, bulgar wheat salad (pepper, cue,tomato, mint and parsley) with a lemon and olive oil dressing (1tsp oil to 1/2 cup lemon juice)
3 strawberries and 2 tsp cremosa yoghurt
2 hours after finishing the meal I had a 9.5 reading. I am trying to eat to a low GI diet.
This mornings reading, before getting out of bed was 7.3 I went into town to watch an Easter procession, had breakfast in the town-1 slice of toast with a thin spread of pate and a black coffee- got a 10.4 2 hours later reading- won´t be eating that again!
What can I eat between meals as a snack if I am hungry? I want to maintain my weight loss gone from a size 16 almost to a size 12 I am eating smaller portions, which is good for my waist line but sometimes I need a snack mid meal!
Thanks
