Hi all. Just started metformin 3 days ago and the diarrhoea is awful. Does anyone have any experience of this. I almost feel afraid to eat because of what will follow. Is this something that will go away? If so how long did it take for your body to get used to the drug?

I’m in Newport

Hello. I too have wondered this. If weight loss is so crucial then why not lose it by any means possible. Lots of people lose weigh the SlimmingWorld way which incorporates potatoes pasta and rice in the eat freely bracket. It’s something I am trying myself but I admit still trying to be...

Hi all - just a little update. Again woke up with an 8.5 reading but 2 hours after a mushroom omlette, 2 rashers of bacon and half a tomato my bg was 8.6. I felt really positive that this was a good result. I am finding my readings are always high in the morning but from around lunch time...

Hello. Blood glucose this morning was 8.7 nothing unusual there for me. I’m always there or there about upon waking. This morning I had bacon and fried egg yet my bg 90 mins after eating is 9.7.

Hello, I saw that lots of people suggest greek yogurt. I tried the full fat variety and added a handful of blueberries and strawberries. My blood glucose approx 1.5 hrs after eating was at 9.7. Does anyone else have a problem with this. Tried weetabix yesterday and that put me up to 11. Yet...

Tested 2 hrs after dinner last night and blood glucose was 7.8. This morning when testing before breakfast it was 8.3. How can the level increase when I've not eaten anything else in between. Could my monitor be faulty? At the moment I'm trying to control my type 2 by diet alone and am...

Can you share the recipe for the pizza base please?

Does anyone do this to themselves. Only got diagnosed this week and much as it's on my mind to do this and sort myself out. I have so far eaten carbs, carbs and more carbs just can't seem to stop myself. Could I be in denial. I'm not a big meat eater could happily be vegetarian but without jkt...
