Wow thanks so much for all these replies. Everyone is so nice on here! Now we're into January I need to go back to the diabetic nurse for a blood test (argh needle phobic!) initially on diagnosis the nurse wanted me on a much higher dose of metformin but because I was eating well and being good...

I was particularly interested in warninks advocaat, malibu, and archers peach schnapps, all of which I know will contain lots of sugar, I just wanted to see how much!

I rarely drink, but just curious about the sugar level in certain alcoholic drinks, cant seem to find any information on the bottle or online. Does anyone know where I could find out?

Hiya, I'm fairly newly diagnosed, June this year. I'm massively struggling with food and seem to have fallen into bad habbits. I know it sounds stupid but can you be addicted to chocolate?! Because I'm pretty sure I am, when I wake up in the morning I have to have some, then bits and bobs...

Woke this morning to a 10.8. Had some scrambled egg for breakfast, 2 hours later I'm 11.5 Better than yesterday but still a long way off where I need to be.

Thanks you for all the suggestions, I will look into the books suggested. And the website too!

Thank you, I've found this very informative, I will start keeping the food diary and take the readings as well. So with my levels being high when I woke up, and me chosing not to eat because they were high I could have potentially made the levels go higher due to not eating?

Could anyone reccomend some good cook books for diabetes? Everything Ive seen at book shops has been full of fancy stuff, Im just after some simple bog standard recipes! Dont mind if its just general diabetes friendly or low carb, anything will do.

Unfortunately I didnt test before bed last night. I havent been keeping on top of things recently so pretty much cannot answer any of your questions, last few readings on my monitor are, 8.8, 14.9, 13.7, 12, 11, 13.4, 10.3 again not sure what circumstance these were, wether before eating...

After sleeping for 10 hours or so, I've woken up today with bloor sugar of 15.3 I'm quite recently diagnosed (june) and I take one 750mg SR metformin daily. Is there medication which helps lower the blood sugar levels more than metformin? I've been told that metformin doesnt really have much...

Started on standard Met, then got put onto slow release due to stomach issues, been on S for nearly 2 months now and still having issues, my dr said if it persisted we could change the medication entirely. Just wondered what some of the alternative meds might be? If its anything with worse...

Hey everyone, I'm Clare and I'm 28, got diagnosed at the begining of July. I started to experience very frequent urination and extreme thirst, I did my usual thing and googled it, obviously diabetes came up as a possible cause which I was worried about as I'm overweight and have it on both...

I was diagnosed at the begining of the month and started on normal metformin 500mg twice a day. It gave me stomach ache and diarrhoea so my doctor changed me over to the SR version which I take 750mg with my evening meal, I've been on these since last thursday, so almost a week, and I'm still...
