Hi, I've recently cut down on carb's. At first I tried less than 100gm per day, but found it hard going so now I get between 100-150 gm. I try not to deny myself too much as this will only backfire. I cook from scratch and eat wholemeal bread etc. I'm not a fruit eater, so that's a problem. As...

I have struggled to understand all these numbers, as mine go up at the drop of a hat. I have purchased the book diabetics 101, which when you get thru all of the stats, states that readings can also depend on whether you have emptied your tummy recently, as well as your diet. So that's why I...

Hi Mat, I also had trouble with metformin SR upsetting my stomach for the last 4 years.Now I take it in with my meals instead of after and the problem has gone. Chris

Too right, get to a&e asap. If it's nothing the worst that can happen is you may feel a little embarrassed, but if it is serious it could be too late. The staff wont judge you either way. GPs are told to deal with only one syptom per appointment, so if you are asking about a couple of things...

Thanks, I've looked and it says another med, so hopefully it works.Ive just done 2 weeks on low carb no more than 100 gms, it made no difference and to be honest I found it very difficult. I dont eat junk food, only fresh produce. Wholegrain everything. So 1 slice of toast for breakfast, 2...

Thanks for that info, hopefully a change will work..

Hi all, diagnosed type 2, 5 years ago now. Last check up readings have shot up for no apparent reason. Doubled dose of metformin to 2000mg per day but still no change even with lowering carbs to 100gm per day. Morning level is around 10ish, used to be lower. Doc said about adding other meds at...
