    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Do you feel annoyed?

    Thank you for your excellent reply, as for gliclizide, I agree that for some, it has its short term uses, but for many type 2 diabetics, insulin is not the problem, indeed we have more than enough, but insulin overload damages ever more beta cells as you will be aware, and this speeds up end...

    Feeling annoyed!

    8.4 this morning, a nice steady drop in the last few days, got a visit with my DN Tuesday, I am not dreading the blood test this time, it should show a decline in my numbers. I will report back.

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Started yesterday at 10 and this morning at 9.3 prior to my evening meal I was 4.7 things are going the right way, the low carb diet seems to be doing the job, cooking all my veg in butter and cream, it is so filling, perhaps admin could start a new heading, low carb recipes, we could all share...

    Hello

    All I can say buddy is, if you have metformin, take it, if you are drinking, stop it, go on a low carb diet, lose a few pounds and you will lower your blood glucose, you might feel like xxxx but I don't suppose your son is thrilled either, at 15 he needs you, his head must also be spinning, and...

    Hello

    Two cannibals were eating a clown, one turned to the other and said, "does this taste funny to you" You can do it mate, pull up yer socks, and make the first positive move. Even if you have to force it at first.

    Feeling annoyed!

    As the saying goes, "Man can't live by bread alone" well in the low carb world we can't have the bread. So that leaves fish or chicken, and I can only eat so much fish. As neither have a cloven hoof, I suppose that I have become a form of vegetarian, but I cannot picture myself as a vegan, if I...

    Diagnosed years ago, tried lots of things on my own, I only discovered this forum last weekend, been on a low carb diet since, and have quit gliclizide, lost 4lbs in a week, was getting bg of 14+ before I started this diet, so something is stirring.
