Amazing effort! Well done!

6.3 when I got up and before food at 07:50 I'm only in my second week of LCHF

I don't know how much I can help as I'm relatively new. I too was diagnosed some time ago (2 years), I too did not manage to stick to any control (cravings, denial etc) and my Hbac1 went up (from 48 to 54). I have been taking Metformin for just over 2 weeks now (1 tablet 1 week and now up to 2)...

Thanks. I wondered as much but I did go to a supermarket whilst a bit hungry (never easy). I did not buy anything untoward...having company helped ;)

Also, I haven't eaten anything else 5 hours later (oops! I've been out and wasn't hungry). My BG is now 6.0 so I'm happy that there's no delayed reaction. I will still test again another time.

Thank you. That's a very sensible suggestion. I'd still like to get my head away from relying on bread etc even if Lo Carb but it's good to know what I can have to keep me on track. :)

Hello everyone I have a question about Hi Lo Bread [High Protein Lo Carb] I bought in Sainsbury's (may be sold elsewhere). Please bear in mind that I'm just starting off here and don't necessarily plan to eat this everyday and I do know there are better things to have such as eggs. My fasting...

2.5lbs (about 1kg) gone this week. It's a start. :) 185lbs (83.9kg) down to 182.5 (82.7kg)

Mike Thanks for the reply. No, I'm not relying on Metformin for the weightloss. As I said, I'm focusing on low carbing along side the metformin. I intend to come off it as soon as I can. I certainly don't believe drugs are the only answer.:)

Hi! Yes, the media are awful about this (and most other things to be honest. Ha!). I know mindset is what underlies everything so I'm working on that too for long term success. :) Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

Thanks Cherry! I think with support and accountability I really can beat this. :)

140g homemade bircher museli and a coffee with almond milk. Museli = FF Greek Yoghurt, 2 granny smith apples (grated), 100g oats, chopped walnuts [4 or 5 servings] I don't find this spikes my blood sugar.

Hello Everyone I have been a bit of a lurker but am coming out of the shadows because you're all so great and I think active support is a good thing. I was diagnosed Type 2 in August 2015 with my Hbac1 being 47/48 so just on the borderline but nevertheless Type 2. I was shocked to say the...
