Thank you KennyA. I didn’t realise that we can go 24 hours without eating. You also eat next to nothing, in comparison to my daily consumption. From what I am starting to appreciate from all the replies and received advice from everyone, is that: 1. I am eating too much food. Before...

Thanks HSSS. I will take all the advice received from everyone, and as you say, I will gradually test this and that approach to see what works best for me. I will certainly consume less starch, even what I assumed was better starch (slow-release starches). I like the idea of combining my...

Thanks again HSSS. It’s my choice to take my meds 12 hours apart, give or take 1 or 2 hours. It was really an assumption that it should be 12 hours apart, as the medical instruction was 500g twice per day. I was taking one other tablet during the first 4-6 months, but stopped when my readings...

Greetings. Is it just me, or is this a common problem. Since being diagnosed with Type 2 (Aug 2022), I struggle driving at night, especially on small unlit roads with on-coming traffic. I seem to get blinded very easily. It gets worse when I have “floaters”, which come and go, which can making...
