5.0 today after waking up at 8am. Lowest so far, from 5.1 yesterday. Maybe the gymnema and puer tea and apple cider vinegar after dinner are helping even in small points. Hope it stays in the future.

My best so far, 5.1 after waking up, at 11am (it's a holiday after all) Before bed was 4.4, so something must have happened in the night ...

I have just tried raw Pu erh tea tonight. 4 hours later after dinner and about to go to bed, I am at 4.4. I don't know if it's the pu erh tea, mixed with gymnema tea, or whether my BS is just improving. I usually am in the low 5s before bed, that was about 2 weeks ago. Now worried, so took...

Thanks, folks. Well, I give credit to my doctor for giving me the right meds in the first place, checking my nerves, eyes, blood pressure (all ok). I had to reduce my carbs from high to moderate, now going lower, as well as getting more exercise. Also been taking all kinds of supplements -...

My 1st hba1c upon diagnosis was 11%. Now, on my 3rd month, I finally got my 2nd hba1c and my doctor and I were pleased, 6.1%. Here's hoping to get it even lower. On a sidenote, I didn't bother what hba1c was when diagnosed, but this time I did some reading on the guide here and downloaded the...

Thanks, will try to figure that out. I found one too that wasn't costing hundreds or thousands of $ for 357 grams !! Well, will be interesting to try.

That is amazing, if it works, then there is no need for drugs. How long does the effect last ? How strong is a "strong brew". I don't have 12mmol, more like 5 to 6 average, so got to get a right dosage ...

Where do you buy this raw puer tea in Singapore ?

Why not, you can always go back to it if it doesn't work. I've been almost 3 months now on Gliclazide (Diamicron MR 30mg) + metformin. From 18, to 11, now hitting high 4's consistently. Maybe I'll go for another 2 to 6 months before I try to get off Gliclazide like you. I am not yet sure as...

I eat low gi carbs like low GI rice and bread, but really small portions (like 2 tablespoons of low GI rice or 1 slice of low GI bread). The bulk of the rest of the meal for me would be proteins, some vegetables, and some fat. Today, I measured 5.6 before lunch (no breakfast), took my meds...

I take ibuprofen sometimes and my blood sugar is ok, same with paracetamol and codeine. Maybe it is caused by something else. Then again, we all react differently to medications.

Well, I thought no harm in trying. I've been having it for 5 days now, after lunch and before bed, it seems good for my UTI symptoms. Haven't really tested yet its effect on my blood sugar, will try to do it next week. The main side effect on me is that I may need some food with laxative effect.

I have the same issue, on the low BMI side. 10.9 as your lowest is still high, and I hope the Gliclazide works for you. Give it a week, but don't only wait and see. Help the meds, go low carbs while at it (like less rice at 1/2 cup or even 1/4, more protein and fat), and exercise. Let the...

Will apple cider vinegar interact with diabetic medicines like metformin or gliclazide ?

5.4 today, lowest yet, maybe because I ate an early dinner at 7pm ...

Interesting, will try that ... just need to find out if two tablespoons is safe ...

With my new Fastclix lancet device, I am testing more. With about 200gr carb dinner at the restaurant, 8.2 1.5 hours after, 3 hours later before bed, 4.6. Waking was 5.7, my lowest so far.

I was thinking the same thing since I try to eat low-GI carbs. So I took the tests 1.5 hrs and 3 hours after. They always ended up close in my case though.

I definitely learn many things from this forum. After having a sense of feeling the previous day's pricks, I went and got myself a Fastclix lancing device today. I love it, at the lowest 0.5 setting, I drew blood with the least pain yet ! I saw a video ad on why the Fastclix is less painful...

2 years, and i assume you never took any medicine ? What have your readings been ?
