8.7 at 6.45 today, not quite as smiley as I was about yesterdays.

good luck :)

Maybe there is something else you can try afterwards...fingers crossed it gets better for you

It wasn't a very pleasant experience at all. I took mine around then too....not much help sorry, maybe you just need to build it up a bit in your system?

I was recently prescribed this too...I took one pill, slept like I was in a coma, and spent the entire next day drifting in and out of sleep. I couldn't work, drive, function. Needless to say that was the only one I ever took and now have sertraline. What time of day are you taking it?

5.6 this morning, and a whole day with no huge spikes (or carbs) yesterday. <happy dance>

Noodles. and not a huge portion. can safely say I won't be doing that again!

5.7 this morning.....a relief after last night's post dinner reading of 13.5 :(

Morning all, hope you don't mind me jumping in on this chat....fbg this morning was 5.7. Gotta say this was a bit of a relief because my 2 hour test after dinner was 13.5. It was my first day with a meter so I was shocked to see it that high :/

Thanks all, I experimented yesterday for the first time with my meter. 5 before eating, 13.5 two hours after. It was 5.7 on waking this morning so finding it all very interesting.

I actually have never been bothered by breakfast until this week either!! I still have heaps to learn about this lolol

They most definitely have!! The worst part about this Jo is that I KNOW all this stuff, I was keto for two years. I felt the best I ever felt, I lost four stone. I have known for many years that I can't process carbs as well as I should be able to. I do actually believe I was prediabetic at...

I am drinking tea with double cream right now, that is the one thing I didn't find difficult to readapt to lol I dont drink coffee. You are probably right about the lunch thing, being literally starving by lunch meant a carb loaded pile of **** from the work canteen, obviously in my defence I...

No I havent...what would be the benefits? I have tried it before, unsuccessfully as I seemed to spend all my time thinking about what I was going to eat. At the moment all I think about is eating regularly, I wake up starving with my stomach growling at me, I feel weak by lunchtime, I have a...

it isnt a race, its a lifelong change as we all know...so no rush, just wanted to get a general headstart. I will eat to my meter as of tomorrow so that will help me know how to get there....thanks all for taking the time to reply, grateful x

no reason other than the general restrictions...20g is hard and I kinda hoped that I wouldnt have to go that hard too soon.....I hit 40 yesterday and that didnt feel restricting at all to start with

Thanks all....I know it will be different for everyone so knew it was a shot in the dark kinda question. Its just so difficult to know what is right <sigh>

Hi all Just diagnosed yesterday with T2 but no stranger to low carb/keto dieting. I spent 2 years on under 20g and am back to low carbing today but I don't want to drop to keto levels yet. My bg meter isn't arriving til Friday but as a general rule....what would be a good average meal carb...

Hi both Thank you for replying, you are right...my mistake...I just rang to check and she said that hb1ac was 48 and the fbg was 9.8. She has diagnosed T2 this morning. I think the ECG is just because of a family history of premature heart attack so probably more a precaution. She was quite a...

Hi all, I have just got back from the docs, my hba1c was 9.8, and my other number which I didnt understand was 48. The doc says that because it is 48 that indicates a t2 diagnosis...but I thought the 9.8 was the more significant number so I am a bit confused why she didn't really comment on...
