Thanks. I wasn't sure about the Metformin and how that would affect in this situation. I keep thinking I have things straight in my head and then confuse myself. All a learning curve :)

Yes, see I knew that I think I'm just getting excited at the thought of being able to have something I used to love, and thought I'd have to eliminate, without it affecting me too much. I will be checking at the 2 hour mark when it comes round!

I will do in an hour when it has been 2 hours. I just thought I would spike instantly with it, I'm still learning and feel I might be a bit lost without this forum :)

So It is that time of the month and I just really needed something sweet (dark chocolate wasn't going to cut it this time) so I made a peanut butter and jam sandwich using 1 slice of wholemeal & rye bread, peanut butter which no added sugars, and a low sugar jam and had it with a coffee with...

Mine was 109 in October, having it done again in January so I'm hoping for a reduction. Well done in what you've been doing, it's not easy! I hope it reflects in your next set of numbers :)

I would definitely check as I don't know about all your medications, I am on metformin and take berberine aswell without issue. My doctor did a Google search because he'd never heard about berberine and then just said "I'm sure it's fine" lol but it has been so far!

For the first time I was in the 6's yesterday, super happy with that! I feel I've been indulging a bit recently however it has been with dark chocolate and homemade low sugar stuff so maybe thats been OK. I had a square of my partners galaxy chocolate and found it disgusting! Crazy how the taste...

I completely understand your overwhelm, don't try to tackle everything at once start with just looking to lower your carbs/sugars by reading packaging and trying to swap certain things for lower carb/low sugar alternatives. And make sure you're not making yourself miserable because that can...

That's good to know, thanks!

I've asked for things I enjoy that I can indulge in a little bit (still in moderation) without it being detrimental to my health such as pork scratchings, a good really dark chocolate, and dry red wine so if there's non-carb-heavy savoury snacks he enjoys then definitely something like that or a...

7.5. I seem to be trending in the 7's most days which I'm happy about given I was at 13-16's just a few weeks ago but I'm not sure how to keep it going down now. There's not much more I can do food wise without losing the will to live but I do need to up my exercise so hopefully that will be the...

Very good idea!

Turkey steak, cottage cheese, rocket, cucumber, plum tomato, 1 sourdough crumpet - I don't normally have the crumpet but I've checked my bloods a couple of hours after and we are all good :) For dinner tonight I'm planning a burger with large flat mushrooms as the bread bun and maybe...

I hope metformin works for you, I started 2 weeks ago and my bloods are gradually coming down, I haven't had any side effects with it at all. Though being away for a few days, eating more carbs than usual, snacking at 3am last night and then only having 3 hours sleep has set me up for a 9.8 this...

@JoKalsbeek A lot of us have been misdiagnosed but what's important is that we know who we are and learn to understand ourselves. No one else matters. I've had a slight crash recently, quit my job and only now am I tentatively trying to get back into it as unfortunately bills need to be paid...

Exactly this! I'm trying to keep it all a bit of a novelty so I keep going with it and don't give up. I'm not the best at caring about myself which makes it a challenge sometimes. I have been getting a bit obsessed about the numbers and upset that things aren't sorting themselves quick enough...

I know everyone can struggle with managing their diabetes I just wanted to open a thread to see how other neurodivergents were managing given there can be other struggles involved such as executive dysfunction and food sensitivities. I am autistic/adhd and I'm actually surprised at how well I...

7.3 lowest it has been since I started testing a week ago so I'm happy. Still slowly coming down. I had emotions last night thinking I wasn't doing enough so to see progress today is encouraging.

I do have a monitor so I will be checking!

Someone has just said the fruit teas spike their blood sugar due to just tasting a bit sweet so maybe check that incase that happens to you too but if not you should definitely give them a try.
