Hi I have found the same but have increased vegetable consumption and have more water than usual. Seems to help. Need to increase fibre intake more. I figure that the slight constipation is a small price to pay to get blood sugar under control. Others may have some ideas

Hi That's good. Less than 8.5 at 2hrs is fine. Look at info sent by@daisy1 :)

Hi I was newly diagnosed before xmas and am trying really hard to work out what I can and cannot eat. With 2 kids in the house trying to change is hard. Have got Tom Kerridges book. Diet doctor website has some great ideas for food which I can tweak for the kids. Roast and veg without the...

Sorry Sara Hallberg

Hi Ken62 There is a huge amount of help to be gained from this forum. I was diagnosed before xmas given metformin, which I cannot tolerate and left to it. Search for info on low carb high fat diet. LCHF. It is all about getting control. I have gone against the guideline which say eat plenty of...

Hi If like me you need a patch to help with sweet things try buying erythritol. It is zero carbs but a straight sugar replacement but unlike xylitol does not act as laxative. Sugar alcohol you just wee out.. can bake with it as well. Just keeps the edge off. If smokers can use a patch I don't...

Hi I tried both types still could not stomach 1 tablet let alone get to 4 a day. Will try snack. Thanks:D

Hi They did thyroid check during the blood tests and they were normal. Like daisyduck it is more like an overheating than a cold sweat. Just getting frustrated as I want to sleep well to get over the fogginess last year. Plus 2 kids 12 and 14 to keep up with.

Thanks . I am glad I am not bonkers. Did the menopause 4 times on IVF did not want it again.

No I was running out of strips. Just bought another 50. Was not very together as I have had a cold. But this has been going on longer. I am just a bit confused as I have quite high BG levels in the morning. I put that down to dawn phenomenon as it goes down when I eat. But as I am not on...

Hi I have started using erythritol. Got it from amazon. Like xylitol but you wee it out and no laxative effect. Plus safe for dogs. It is my nicotine patch for the 2 cups of tea I have a day. Plus can cook with it. Tom Kerridge has used it in most of his recipes instead of sugar.

Hi Metformin was given to me before xmas and I could not get to 2 tablets a day before I got explosive diarrhoea. Could not eat for days after. Have stopped and am now trying lchf diet as I have been insulin resistant for 25 + years. Look up metformin on forum lots have not been able to...

Hi Got my copy in Asda for £10. Tiramisu recipe looks amazing with coffee cake made with almond flour. A least I feel I can have a treat

Thank you . I have already spent about £100 trying to check. Much cheaper option. I am seeing diabetes nurse on Friday to get shouted at probably for stopping metformin but I have 2 kids and cannot manage with diarrhoea.

Hi Nanny B I have just been told I am type 2 after 25 years of struggling withPCOS and insulin resistance. Told to eat low GI carbs after I had gestational diabetes 12 years ago. Did all that. No weight loss and now gone into Type 2. Put on Metformin ordinary and SR and have had explosive...
