Do you take gliclazide?

Had my first Lidl high protein roll today and thought it was really tasty and I believe less than 10g carbs.

I experience this. Readings fine when going to bed, at least 2or 3 higher in the morning. Lucky if it's in single figures! Frustrating isn't it? Hoping there's not too much left in my liver to 'dump' but at least it shows it's working.

Couldn't watch the program but I wonder what their answer is for people with T2 who are not overweight?

I saw the first 5 minutes then switched it off!

We should be able to trust the healthcare professionals! I do get a bit upset when people on here imply that most people don't care or just don't bother if they do what the doctor ordered and keep taking the meds. I did for over 8 years. Never been overweight and ate a 'healthy' plate so was...

Well said Energize.

I got my freebies yesterday. Had completely forgotten about them.

My husband is an overweight smoker who has already had one heart attack and lives mainly of carbs! He doesn't bother much about his own health so never expect him to think about my diet. Generally cook different things or adapt for us both. With Indian for example I have meat dish and half rice...

I saw my dn last week. My blood test was the best since being diagnosed 9 years ago. She seemed genuinely surprised and pleased when I told her I have only been taking half my prescribed meds, but low carbing. I did say that I felt disappointed that it had never been suggested by her, doctors or...

I would try and just stick to a coffee, either with cream or black. If you give in and have a cake with it you probably wouldn't really enjoy it now as you would be thinking about how much damage it could be doing you. My favourite snack is a small square of 90% cocoa chocolate and a Brazil nut...

I think you should be selective about alcohol - stick to the red wine, that's what I do!

I love to walk, knit, sew and read. Live by the seaside so enjoy a stroll along the front almost every day. Very recently retired so lots more time for these hobbies as well as taking up yoga and aqua aerobics. Only think about being diabetic at meal times and doctor appointments! (And logging...

8.4 this morning, only 4.1 just before I went to bed.

If your doc is anything like mine was, the first response will be medication, but if diagnosed now I would insist on trying diet first - lchf. Hope fully your high figures were just a blip.

My daughter did. Mainly high blood pressure but also swollen feet and ankles. She had to go to hospital every other day for last 2 weeks for tests. Was about to be induced but went into labour naturally the night before.

I have a few berries and full fat Greek yoghurt. Quick and easy to do, tasty and few carbs. Much better than the weetabix I used to have.

Thanks for the tips, I may try a little nibble of nuts or cheese just before bed. I'm sure it won't make things worse. I normally test after being up about 5 minutes.

Mine is 9.4 this morning, just before bed it was 6.9. A bit fed up with it going up so much overnight! It seems I can only get a good morning reading if I go to bed 4 or below.

Thanks for the info. Perhaps a combination of both. Sorry to divert from the original thread can sympathise with disappointing result, due an hba1c test myself, but putting it off!
