Nice one @Brunneria Cravings are like little demonic gremlins. My daughter said oh mum nimble and burgen bread are low carb, tempted... Didn't bother to research there carb loads as I've done without for 2 months, and if I start replacing bread etc the the gremlins of craving will wheedle there...

Hi @gourdNA I was diagnosed in late November so I can relate to your disbelief, still finding it hard to tag T2 on to me, and except and live with it I've lost (deleted cos it ain't coming back!) 10kg since just before Christmas, by doing virtually no carb diet as advised by many on here, it...

@Clivethedrive I will ask for Sr next time, I'm extremely lucky as I live in Ireland (quit uk 7years ago) and the health care here isn't like the nhs, so asking for something more expensive isn't frowned on (not by my doc anyway) Yes that is a big dose of Metformin and I'm sticking to LcHf...

Thanks Guys;). @Bluetit1802 blood sugars have been still too high, hence the doc put me on janumet and metformin, bringing my metformin total to 2550 mg a day, since Friday, blood sugars are down! Even had a 5.5 reading!! Affecting my tummy big time but gonna give it a good month. ;)

Carbs are key, if I have any carb laden food my bs is through the roof, even oats and beans. There's carbs and sugar in everything. Really does work for me I'm down 10kg over Christmas. Hope it works for you, best of luck with it

Big massive Thank You to everyone on here who set me on the Lchf diet!! Went to the docs and I've lost (deleted) 10kg over the Christmas period ;). Very happy Doc put me on Janumet 50/850 x2 a day and metformin 850 at lunch, have a sour stomach and wind ( let's not go there!) but blood sugars...

OH My! Just tried that the wipe the first drop of blood away and Got My FIRST Ever 7-0 Reading!! I had 10.1, 2 hours ago ;) My Meter is a Contour usb, don't know if that's good or bad But 7.0 ;) ;) :)

Oh yes! No more porridge for me ;) The metformin was bringing my bloods down to 7-10 range but since Christmas, it's anything from 16 to 8, and it's not following a pattern, as in it could be 12-3 before dinner and 9 after. Very strange

The porridge was the first Carbs I have had in weeks, typical day, Breakfast apple and a yogurt , or yogurt and berries (natural yogurt) Lunch, half a handful of nuts(almond or cashews), apple, or carrot and broccoli with a little mayo or eggs &bacon Dinner, meat and salad, eggs &bacon home...

Had a very scary experience last night, 3rd time it's happened, dizzy faint muscles like lead completely weak nausea really felt like I was loosing consciousness, Got up to pee at 12 ish, this happened managed to get back into bed, checked bloods 8.3, I had a huge spike in the day from...

Exactly what just happened!! Cheese scrambled egg and butter with pumpkin seeds on top, only ate half and I'm done!! Haven't weighed myself since diagnosis (13th November) but my clothes are beginning to hang off me ;)

Thanks @Pasha and @Bluetit1802 that helps a lot thank you

Ecigs are awesome once you get past the mass produced eliquid and get a decent Mod, vaping is a bit of a hobby for me, helps my sweet tooth, I'm currently vaping S'mores, and also chocolate fudge caramel :) make my own liquid from concentrates to save money.

Your readings are awesome, I tipped in this morning at 17.5!! Bye bye Bushmills Whiskey ;( the sorrow lol Well done you!

I'm also a Newbie Hugh, we have some great timing ehh ;). Still looking on the bright side it's a relief to actually know what's going on and why we had those symptoms Here's to a healthy happy 2015
