Have reduced my meds from three Metformin and one glicicide to one Metformin in the morning over the past five weeks using low carbs and exercise. If I'd have known this when I was diagnosed several years earlier it would have saved a lot of high readings and complications. My health provider...

Thanks chalup

Seems I've managed to control my bloods at last! Question but what is a safe reading at bedtime and if low what can I have to raise to required reading?

5.4 at last down to a good result by cutting carbs down and adding 1/2 hour exercise.

In Saudi no bacon/ham but loads of eggs

On low carbs and a bread addict, I have always eaten brown bread with Jan and peanut butter but realise this needs to change. Options anyone for quick breakfast options low carbs? What about a Protien drink with milk? Eggs? Peanut butter? Any ideas are appreciated! Mick

Good stuff!

Well done did you reduce Metformin slowly of immediate?

What are the best low sugar fruits whilst on a low carb diet?

First day off meds my reading pre- lunch is 6.6 after 8.8. With working away it's hard to consult with my nurse. Thanks for your thoughts

Have decided to cut carbs and sugar from my diet and stop with the three Metformin and one glicicide as things weren't improving. My first night my sugars are 6 before bed is this safe for T2 or do they need to be higher? Is it safe to just stop medication?

Much appreciated, thank you [emoji41]

My HBA1C is 8.5 how bad is this reading and how can I reduce it keeping my energy levels high. I work long hours in Saudi and preparing foods is sometimes hard and I seem to go for quick fixes like Alpen bars, peanut butter and jam sandwichs at night biscuits with my cuppa! I have other health...

Cheers people

What's LCHF? My weight is not an issue as I have trained all my life it's keeping my energy levels high that I'm struggling with. As for Meats and Fish I have never eaten these except tuna with lots of mayo and bacon.

I have been T2 for a number of years and always had problems keeping sugars down. I have always been a fussy eater and now I find almost everything I like is bad for me. I work 14 hours daily walking 10miles daily and very active climbing structures. My calorie count is very low compared to my...
