@Greg1957 I guess you are old enough to remember a TV ad in the 70's with the strapline "we turn all the sugar into alcohol"? That was Holsten Pils which has 2.5g carb per 100ml, other lower carb beers are Coors Light, and Marstons Resolution. Red and white wine are also fairly low carb, and...

@Snapsy @Bluetit1802 I do not think any of you are OCD. While I have been very lucky, in that I do not measure foods, never counted a calorie, or a Carb - and I didn't be for I was Type 2 either. The simple fact is this, be ye T1 or T2 matters not, there is a malfunction in your body which...

very well done indeed!

8.2 :banghead: 5.2 at bed time

There is a particular effect caused by pizza. It is very high in both carbs and fat, so the fat inhibits the take up of the carbs into the BS.

Well done, you deserve a break

In the early days when my body was struggling with side effects, I stopped taking them for a day or two before travelling, all through the one week holiday, and resumed on my return. My blood sugars didn't go up by much, and I could not tell if that was lack of metformin, or change of (holiday)...

Hi @Frenchclass Neither I, or anyone else on this forum can advise you on your medication, and whether you should or should not alter you prescription, so on that one please talk to your Dr. Many people (me included) feel a bit 'off' when our Blood Sugars drop to a range that we have not...
