My bm is now stable with 2g metformin and good changes to diet. Only been diagnosed about a month and bm down now from around 18 to average of 6 now. So that's cool..... But I feel like **** a lot of the time. Dizzy. Confused. Weak. When bm drops below 5 I feel terrible but I guess this is a...

Thank you ALL. Yes that helps. I was considering carbing up a bit. But I think I'll keep going. Re weight I'm a bulkier athlete than many and a stone would good to lose but I'm not too bothered about that. Just want happy blood sugar to try and avoid any long term complications. Thanks all. Im...

I was thinking of carbs before a long ride on bike as I've always carbed up in the past for long rides. I feel I have no energy at mo. I went for a small spin 14 miles yesterday and ran out of energy and felt low.... I wasn't. Well I was for me I guess but in normal range for anyone else...

Diagnosed about 2 weeks ago. Little more perhaps. On metformin once a day and have to increase to twice tomorrow. Best reading ever before food this evening 5.3. I'm down from the late teens with highest in morning around 9 before brekky. But......ive had almost no carbs. Carrots and a slice of...

All I can say is welcome [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3] I have recently been diagnosed too. I find testing before meals useful as I can chart how what I've eaten has affected my blood sugar. Low carb has reduced my average from 15 to 7 in about 2 weeks with metformin once a day at mo. So I believe...

@DCUKMod thank you. Will do.

Just tested I'm down to 7.5 best reading so far. Excited. Time for tea. Low carb stir fry. Thanks all.

@Bluetit1802 thought as much. Cheers. Feel rough as.

Another quickie. My bm has been averaging 11 to 15. I feel awful on a few occasions and it's been 7.5. I'm guessing that's cos I'm used to running a little high?

Wow. Huge info. Thank you all. Really appreciate all that help.

Thanks both @AM1874 and @Bluetit1802 Yes always been bordering obese. Tho I don't go in for bmi. All rugby squad members are obese on this scale. But I agree I am on fact a little porky despite the exercise lol. I'll check out the carb links etc and certainly appreciate your replies...

Cheers. Appears a app problem as can reply from Web. Thanks Matt.

Hba1c is 75. Just starting metformin tomorrow. I'm 5ft 7 13.5 stone. Slight belly but fit as cycle. Gone reducing carbs but it's not coming down much so hope metformin helps. Thanks all.
