    Yep, sounds familiar. Are you having milk in your tea/coffee in this time? I swapped to cream in my coffee, and sometimes even put coconut oil in it (only start with a little til you get used to it or you will be nauseous!). Much more level

    Thank you for your encouragement :-) :-) I'm new into it, so going for the satiety of the fat first and my focus is the blood readings above all else.

Had a piece of cheese before bed, but didn't...

    Lyxumia not working. Options? Bydureon? Victoza?

    Hi there, I was on Metformin and sitagliptin with worsening control, and wavering levels of carbohydrate in my diet, but after being refused a referral to the consultant for a GLP-1 inhibitor 12 months ago because my BMI was 34.9 and not 35, my HbA1c went up to 77 and I was finally prescribed...
