    Changing to an SGLT2 from Metformin

    Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

    Salmon and salad for lunch. Dinner was a keto chicken curry with spinach and broccoli. Beer was only 3 carbs per bottle. Looks like the numbers are coming down. I've noticed alot of you eat bacon. I was told bacon is processed meat and not good same with salami

    Food Metformin and hyperglycemia

    I haven't tested after rice yet. The ricotta cannelloni shot my blood sugar uP heaps. I still haven't tried testing after rice and potato yet. I always thought sweet potato was good for diabetics, but just in case I don't have it much anyway. Are you using brown rice now instead of the other rice

    Your right, I do eat a large portion and it's probably contributing to the high sugar levels. If I don't eat enough though I find im hungry most of the time. Maybe I should snack on some dark chocolate or something to help with the hunger pangs
