Hi all, I am not doing low carb but have dramatically changed my diet. I am trying to find a balance, wholemeal bread, smaller meals, less shop bought sandwiches etc. However, I would like to know what grams of carbs per day are ideal to keep the blood sugar steady. I am on sukkarto one twice...

I do agree it is quicker to eat an omelette. However, it is more a mental thing rather than physical. It is like someone is stopping you from cooking, making you feel sick at the thought. For me when I binge it is about punishment and if I'm going eat this illicit food then I have to eat until I...

Hi all, I have tried to stick to a healthy diet but years of abuse on my body is difficult to undo. I suspect I am preaching to the choir on this one. Anyway, tonight I got home and really didn't want to cook so I ordered a takeaway. Now, I will be totally honest, I can eat enough to food to...

Thanks will try to get to the docs on monday, in the mean time I will pop in to see the pharmacist.

It all started when I started the meds and I can't take this discomfort anymore. Hopefully I can reintroduce one at a time.

Sorry, I stopped the meds yesterday and took a propanolol tonight and seems better.

I have been on Metformin and atorvastatin for about a week and while some symptoms have settled, I have really bad heart palpitations. They start I the evening and last for several hours. The problem is I don't know the cause. Updated - I stopped all meds yesterday.

Yes one slice of toast and butter and a cup of tea. I never eat breakfast so this is a new routine for me.

Took Metformin after breakfast today so we shall see how it goes. Blood sugar before breakfast 6.6 and 2 hours after 6.1 something must be working. Terrible hunger pains though.

Well. I am on trip number 6 to the toilet. I don't have anything in the house other than toast for tomorrow. What I will do is test before and after and see what it says. I only had one slice.

My risk factor for heart attack in the next 10years is 11% from 1% for people of the same age. I saw a cardiologist and said I was unsure about taking them but they said it was because I was diabetic.

Not low carb bread, just normal

Yes had it with toast. Dreading tomorrow morning.

Hi all, Well I finally started the Metformin and statin. Metformin one a day for a week then 2 for a week and then 3. Well, will I last that long? I took one Metformin this morning and have not been off the loo, including one accident (sorry tmi) I am so sore, I want to sit on a bath of ice...

Thank you. I have been tackling my diet, although you wouldn't think after tonight's dinner. I have a binge eating disorders which means I consume a huge amount of food, hence the reading tonight. I have been ok for a week but had a wobble. Tomorrow is another day.

Unfortunately it was burger and chip shop chips. ☹️

If a non diabetic ate the same would they also have a high reading or would their reading be lower?

Pre diabetic or glucose intolerant.

Ok so had a bit of a big meal and blood went from 4.4 to 8.7 after 2 hours

Should have said it 6 hour from lunch until dinner. I tested before dinner 4.4 and will test in 2 hours
