Thanks Carbon that sounds just like me. My waking bs is between 5 and 6.5 and during the day it’s very seldom above 7.4. Think I’ll speak to my doctor about reducing my Metformin and see if that works. Your information has been invaluable, thanks

Thanks bulkbiker . Another thing I haven't thought of

19 was from my average finger pricks. I thought these gave you a daily overview of your blood sugars as you only get your hba1c done every 6 months. I was on insulin to start with but doc took me off it end of last year. I’ll update my profile

Hi HSSS my last two hba1c were 25/4/18. 48 22/11/18. 42 Apart from Metformin I’m not on any other type of medication. Until I was diagnosed with diabetes I was relatively healthy lol

Thanks Alexandra100 could be the soft drinks. At home I might have 1 every other day, here I’ve been drinking a couple at least. I’ll cut back and see if that helps

Hi had anyone else noticed an increase in their blood sugars when on holiday? I’m still trying to stick to a low carb diet with lots of salads, water and soft drinks and no alcohol. Before I came away my readings were between 5 and 6.8 now this week they are between 6.5 and 9!!! Help any...

Thanks Daibell. It’s thanks to this page I’ve learned about a low carb diet and healthy eating. Since March I’ve managed to drop a dress size, which I’m delighted about [emoji23]

Hi kitedoc Yes definitely feel I’ve been programmed to set and forget lol. Haven’t really been told/shown how to interpret my blood reading I’m simply assuming higher numbers aren’t so good and the lower the better. There is a helpline number but anytime I’ve phoned it’s gone to voicemail...

I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes six months ago. In the first two months I was injecting myself with insulin and as a result there was a lot of hospital appointments with the local diabetes clinic. I’ve had one meeting with a dietitian too. In May I was started on 4 x 500 Metformin daily and...
