    Three weeks (& Christmas too) before I see a nurse

    as said, thats not too bad. I would start with all sugar and fruit juice, see how that goes. The next step would be wheat and wheat products. It would really help if you bought a meter to check your bloods. it will give instant feed back to how you are going.

    Body fat

    keep cutting the carbs, I don't know of a better way to remove belly fat. dr Taylor said if you remove some fat from your pancreas, there is a good chance you won't be diabetic, like the ones who have bariatric surgery. the only trouble is that is the last bit of visceral fat to go

"As you say a protein higher fat breakfast is a safer bet, and may allow not to increase your Dapagliflozin, as you aren't putting excess...

    DRUG number 4 now

    one of the reasons you are going to find differing opinions is because full strength coke is low GI in a list of foods I saw and to the point of being silly where sugar can be low GI. I'm afraid it seems a marketing ploy now...

    DRUG number 4 now

    as you say a protein higher fat breakfast is a safer bet, and may allow not to increase your Dapagliflozin, as you aren't putting excess carbs through glucose, into the blood, to excrete through your kidneys. although the thread took a left turn, I hope it has helped overall.

    I think the difference may be cooked/wet and dry oats, I've been tricked a few times on this, also 100g isn't a serve, as as per your link, it's only 68 cal edited by mod/admin
