Re: Sitagliptin & Glicazide Thanks for the quick replies fellow Diabetics. My average BS are 12 and I also need help to control my appetite & must lose weight. Apparently Sitagliptin fits the bill. Cheers, Chris

My Diabetic nurse has just put me on 100mg Sitagliptin daily. My nurse is only in surgery 1 day per week and what was not made clear was whether the Siitagliptin should be taken in addition to the 320mg of Gliclizide & 3g of Metformin I already take each day. Does antone have any ideas? Chris

Many thanks for all the helpfull advice, it is much appreciated. Chris.

21.9 @ 1300 but brekky was at 1000 so presumably higher shortly after that. Enjoy that fry up!! Nigel, how would you address the post meal spikes?? Chris

Thanks for the advice Patch. Recovery was 7 hrs actually. Chris

Hi everyone, Well, following my heightened BG due to that lovely English brekky everyting seems to have settled down as follows:- Tuesday:- 0800 - 11; 1000 brekky; 1300 - 21.9; 1700 - 8.8; 2300 - 8.8. Wednesday 0800 - 11.3; 1300 - 8.3; 1700 - 6.2; 2300 - 5.8. Today on waking BG was 9.4. Looks...

Thanks Patch, my usual waking BG is around 12, apparently I suffer from the dawn syndrome. I will surely keep an eye on it and let you all know how it goes. Sorry if I have excited a few taste buds!!! Chris

Thanks Daisy 1. I will keep a close eye on the BG levels & sugar/carb imtake for the rest of the day and until this is sorted. Cheers, Chris

And what would they do at A&E? I'm not on Insulin! The brekky consisted of:- 2 x Sausages 1 X Bacon Canned tomatoes Baked Beans Mushrooms 2 thick pieces of toast 2 tablespoons of butter 2 tablespoons of Marmalade 2 cups of Tea. It seems an awful lot when you write it down Chris

I go to a Cafe now and again and have a good English breakfast, usually with no undue effects. Today 4 hours after the breakfast my BG was 21.9!! This is the highest it has been since year 2000. HELP!!! Chris

Thanks for replies, Medication:- METFORMIN 1000mg 3 times daily; GLICLAZIDE 160mg 2 times daily. The Cappy's are 5.7 carbs each. Chris

Hi Folks, The past couple of months i have found it impossible to get my BG below 10 & it is usually up to 13. If anything I have been eating less and certainly no cakes or other goodies. I am on a low carb regime but it seems to make no difference at all. On waking my BG is between 11 & 13...

I have recently changed my meter & have 2X50 Accu-Chek Advantage Test Strips going for the price of a Jiffy bag & postage say £1.50. They are both un-opened, one expires August 2010 the other May 2011. Please contact me via pm. Cheers, Chris

Hi Hanadr, I would live to read your post about proteins; where can I find it? Chris.

Although having been Diabetic for some 10 yrs. I have only recently tried to get to grips with it and give myself a chance of a better, longer life!! I am failing miserably!! Loads of people have always answered my questions and given advice yet when implemented it seems not to make much...

OK I'll try that. Trouble is I do get very hungry and eating bacon & egg everyday can't be good!!! Has anyone got any low carb breakfast ideas? Chris

This morning I had bacon, mushrooms & toast. Before bed last night my BG was 7.3. On waking it was 11.9. I ate breakfast at 0830 & at 1000 it was 14.3 and at 1130 it was 7.6. It is a roller coaster all day long. I'm very concened.

I am trying to be low carb so breakfast will now usually be either bacon, eggs or mushrooms sometimes with Bergen toast.

I read the link you provided and although very technical & not fully understood it seems it is a natuarl phenonemum to have high waking BG levels. However, the author ends by saying: "The 2009 guideline Bg figures to aim for are as follows: Fasting (waking).................Between 4 - 7...

Hi, It's not what you might think!!! I am refering to my BG levels. My BG consistently rises overnight by some 4 points. Example: Last food eaten at 1900, BG at 2200 is 5.5, BG on waking is 9.7. Any ideas? Chris
