That's interesting I didn't realize it was from beginning of a meal, I'm trying to eat low carb and keep a check on what foods I need to avoid , thanks for your help

Thank You I had some milk to take some tablets and wondered if it would affect the reading which was a couple of points higher than I expected

I hope this isn't a silly question, between finishing a meal and testing my blood 2 hours later should I avoid drinking anything,

I hope so

Just had a look at this recipe I shall also be trying this one, thank you

I Dont like many TV chefs but i do like Tom Kerridge, I knew he'd lost lotsof weight but didn't know it was through low carb....I have just ordered this book, thank you

If we eat out I normally have a chicken dish but that's getting boring, last night I had a steak ( something I never eat ) I exchanged the chips for vegetables and thoroughly enjoyed it and no effect on my BG so now I'm looking forward to having that again

e Thank You I've seen recipes for the mug muffins I will give them a go this week, I don't have much of a sweet tooth so I'm not to worried about cakes though if I come across an almond cake I might just make an exception then a blood test to see how it affects me.... it's the savoury stuff I...

It's so difficult and takes a lot of willpower as cafes/restaurants just do not cater for low carbers which surprises me as it's becoming a way of eating for many people not just diabetics, as we have a holiday place near the coast it's a case of go without for me, I'm fine at home and cook...

Diagnosed Type 2 about 3 years ago, I haven't been consistent testing my blood, the last time I saw my DN she said she was happy with my blood glucose at 8, I've never had a reading under 8, I'm a retired chef and thought I knew all about carbs etc. So when my husband and I stopped somewhere for...

Thank you so much everyone, some good advice for me to get my head round, I will change my way of eating and post my results, once again thank you for your time and help

Can I ask what sort of carb numbers should I be looking at per meal, I realise we are all different but I'd like a rough idea , I'm failing miserably getting my numbers down ....many thanks

Why don't the professionals learn and listen, I saw a new DN yesterday she was very thorough and very pleasant, but unlike a previous DN who gave me a blood testing monitor and told me to use it regularly so I could monitor which foods raised my blood glucose so I could avoid them.....yesterday...

I saw doc today and she thought that some stress and acid stomach problems could affect the absorption metformin sr, I am now taking other medications to deal with stress and acid so she's hoping everything will settle. I am also now taking metformin while I eat, so hoping things will settle...

No the tablets are the same as I've been taking for a few months, funnily enough the new prescription I have started today are a different make, I had to check that they were metformin sr, I've had a very frustrating time trying to get a doctors appointment but not had any luck Sent from the...

I think like all medication Metformin suit some people and do the job they are supposed to do, I'm thinking for me the side effects are too severe, I'm just very surprised they have been ok for 6 months

I don't know what I would have to take if this is the tablets, the doctor would have to sort that one out, think I will have to pay her a visit and see what she says

About a year ago I was prescribed two 500 gram Metformin daily, but like many others I suffered with dreadful upset stomachs, I was scared to leave the house it was as if I had no control over my bowels .....sorry if that's a bit graphic....My doctor changed my medication to the Metformin slow...

Thanks everyone, I will have a word with a pharmacist tomorrow, but won't panic if they can't help, I won't forget them again
