I can completely suppress any adverse stomach reaction to Metformin by taking it with food; literally between mouthfuls. For me this seems to do the trick. Sent from my brain v0.9

I have been on Metformin for a couple of months, and for me at least, it does seem to suppress my appetite a bit. My weight loss so far (40lb and counting!) is down to a tightly calorie controlled diet, but my will power has had some support from Metformin. Sent from my brain v0.9

I was on it for a short while, and it had a great effect on my weight. The only problems I had (and they were not bad ones) were when I didn't stick to a low fat diet. The common mistake seems to not be changing your diet when taking them.. The effects were pretty short lived on my; a couple of...

That's great news and very encouraging; Well done! Sent from my brain.

As someone with a lifetime of weight problems, my diagnosis with T2 a couple of months ago has forced me to focus on getting my weight under control. I have been focusing on reducing calories and low-glycemic food. I have nothing to add to the debate about diets that always rages here, other...

Great idea Faith, I look forward to reading it. Sent from my brain.

I figure my phone now replaces most of the work that my brain does... Sent from my brain.

In addition to shopping around (the importance of which I can't stress enough), if you use a comparison website try contacting the insurers that give the best prices directly. They are (sometimes) cheaper this way, but more importantly you will be able to make a more informed choice about level...

Never underestimate how satisfying it is to write on a banana with a ball point pen! Try it if you don't believe me... Sent from my brain.

Re: Can anyone recommend a sweetener without bitter aftertas Me too; my local Waitrose has started stocking it ("Free From" section), but my local health food shop has in larger and better value bags. Sent from my brain.

I have never tried preserving garlic, as there never seems to be any left! If there is any going spare, I cut the top of the bulb off (so you can see the top of the cloves) and roast it off in the overnight. When it has cooled, I squeeze out the result onto some bread, toast or oat cake. It's a...

Wow, that brings back some memories! I don't think I have had one of those in 35 years... Sent from my brain.

Having tried half a dozen different ones, I always go with the largest flakes; this seems to be the most satisfying for texture. From a BG point of view, there doesn't seem to be much difference ( Quaker Oats included). Sent from my brain.

I am also T2, and porridge is something I can rely on not to spike my BS; course cut oatmeal mixed with oat bran, cooked in a mixture of semi-skimmed milk and water. 25g of oatmeal gives 16g of carbs plus 7.5g of carbs for 15g of oat bran. Not all porridges are equal, and some of the ready made...

Many thanks Giverny, that is fascinating, and also quite moving. Sent from my brain.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. After a few weeks I still can't believe how much there is to learn... Sent from my brain.

Excuse my noob ignorance, but I haven't come across burgan before- do you just treat it as a bread substitute? Thanks! Sent from my brain.

I've been struggling with this since I was diagnosed with T2 a few weeks ago. This week I have been having some success with wholegrain rye bread (Schneider Brot German vollkornbrot from Waitrose) and Almond Butter (Meridian crunchy almond butter from my local health food shop). One slice of...

For me it is exercise; when I am exercising well I sleep well, and when I am not I struggle to get a good night's sleep... Sent from my brain.
