Thanks for the advice, I will have a look at the sites

I have been told by a few people that fenugreek capsules or seeds can help lower blood sugar. Has anyone got any experience of taking these? Is there any other supplements that may also be of benefit?

My doctor recently added ezetimibe to my prescription, along with my pravastatins. Has anyone got any thoughts on if this will have an affect on my bloods as they do seem to have gone up since.

I've been taking 2mg of glimpiride on an evening before meals for about 6 months now. I've monitored my sugar levels and they have not changed much if at all. I am also taking pravastatin. Has anyone had any similar results with this drug

Great stuff, wish I was the same. What diet and steps have you taken?

Thanks for the reply, oh I know about the beer but I don't do anything too excessive. A typical days food will be Breakfast - Scrambled Egg Lunch - Chicken Salad Tea - Chicken / Fish with vegetables. I do eat things like currys and stews but I do make sure that there is nothing in there that...

Yes because I have higher than normal cholesterol and my family has a history of it

I'd say between 40 and 80g give or take.

I have been getting up on a morning for the past few weeks and experiencing high blood readings usually above 8.5 but occassionally above 10 upto 14 for one. I keep a pattern diary or exactly a spreadsheet of what I have eaten and there doesn't seem to be any pattern too it at all. I have eat...

I have recently notice a trend that after doing a gym session, bike ride or weights my bloods have risen. Normally they have done down a lot say from 8 to 4.5 afterwards. Don't know if this is normal or not, I am on meds I take statins pravastatin and glimpiride 1mg for my diabetes. I have only...

Yes, I know. I tested all sorts of times just make sure. My doctor calls me his diabetic enigma because he can't understand how my sugar levels are normal most of the time. Its really frustrating tbh and leaves me wondering if I have something else wrong at times.

Porridge is fine, never raises my bloods checked a lot. Sweet potato too is fine. [emoji16]

Rice is broccoli rice not actually rice. I only eat Greek yogurt so low sugar. Pies and pizza generally don't put my sugar up. Wraps I only have 1, other than that I do pretty well.

That is my last HBA1C from feb, compared to the average over the last 90 days. Although higher, it would seem I am coming lower, not due my next HB1Ac until end of October due to being taken off the medication mj

Yes I am aware, just been to the doctor actually and he has taken me off the meds. As they seem to cause me too many issues. Going to see what happens over next month or two and see if levels go up or down. Will have to experiment more

I am confused to what is going on with my blood sugars, particularly in a morning. Generally my levels at between 6am and 7.30 are above 7.5 and no matter what I do they don't seem to change. I am currently taking statins and glipizide 15mg both of which I'm not happy about but my HB1AC was 60...
