Thanks, what was that from Don't Panic, don't panic.....Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy may be? In some ways I think I knew but it is so reassuring to get confirmation Cheers Jeremy

Hi there, Was cautioned to watch out for any feet problems. Feet seem to have gone very dry even though I rub in cream on surface not between toes. Also seem to have mild discolouration across the tops of some of my toes where the dry skin looks brown or blackish. Hasten to add this is almost...

Gracie, Don't forget a morning test before breakfast etc. may well be anything from 3-4 higher on your blood monitor. this results from the liver releasing glucose in the early hours of the morning but really appears to confuse results. You could be 6-7 in the evening and 9-10 in the morning...

Saw there were some suggestions about cutting out the gliclazide but do make sure you consult with your diabetic nurse or doctor before doing that.

Any thoughts on foods to eat / not eat that might help control morning readings better? I gather this may result from...

For any one like me who struggles to swallow tablets, there is now a soluble form of Metformin made by Merck - Glucophage. I'm recently diagnosed as type two and the doctor switched me over from Gliclazide to the Metformin soluble when I explain. Regards Jeremy

Wonder if any one can advise. Diagnosed this morning as type two and prescribed drugs. Was 13.7 on BM meter this morning and this evening registered 7.3 after one tablet at lunch time. Is this a bit too quick as I was warned about the posibility of going too far the other way and ending up with...
