I have the odd bit now and again it as my BG levels more stable. Mine is not only chocolate but fruitless and starburst! I do not have them too often but I find I become fixated and have to have it, trouble is one but leads to another! I did not find it difficult to give up cakes pastries...

Blood test! It seems to be different fruits for different people. 5 months into this BG down considerably, I know find I can eat a lot more fruit. It is my passion so it has been a problem but testing has allowed me to find the good ones that suit me! Sadly not bananas! Good luck. X

I think it's also a potential side effect of Metformin - have a look at the blurb in the box. I had a thick head for weeks when I started on it. Better now. I was told to drink.a lot of water through the day that did help and to take only paracetamol. Do you finger prick to see where your BG...

Trial and error, everybody is different. Keep testing before and after food you will soon find out what's ok for you. I still eat a lot of fruit, it's seems to be ok'ish. No banana, my passion! I just cut out potatoes, veg that grow underground, all pastry yogs, cakes, sweets etc. I reckon...

It has taken me 5 months on met 1500 and 40 Gliclazide to feel a marked improvement in the tummy issue area. I kept a good diary and wrote in general info but never found a link with a particular food. It is renowned for tummy issues I think it's perseverance but it's a rough ride. Keep going...

It is very difficult. I was so terrified when I was diagnosed that I stop all cakes, biscuits etc. It's not only sugar it's carbohydrates that as as bad. I went on the LCHF diet, not rigidly, but I am careful. Indo have the odd sweet and the odd biscuit. My Hb1 level has dropped from 135 to...

Thank for explaining this, all so complicated still. That makes much more sense, ask and somebody has an answer LOL. If I carry on the way I have been will I continue to reduce the Hb1 result? I am loosely doing LCHF? It has been difficult so much to give up but I confess to have odd...

I have had an interactive thyroid for 30 years. Since I have been diagnosed T2:with all the meds I have found a much greater issue with heat intolerance. It might be worth a test. The recent heat made me feel very panicky and strangely I had blood test results yesterday Hb1 down to 48 great...

I was told 5 months ago never to use any needles twice. I did use just one a day (3 or 4) times but ended up with very sore bruising. I was told to use a new needle to prevent this and issues with the puncture site as well as reducing the risk of infection. Whilst I appreciate the experiences...

There is loads on the forum about LCHF and a site called diet doctor is helpful. I expect daisy1 will be in touch. The forum is a lifeline for we newbies. So bread all about it and ask questions we all need support. [emoji256] Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app
