I was diagnosed with Type 2 in 2008 (on my 40th birthday, yay me) and started on Metformin pretty much straight away. Up until Autumn 2014 things seemed to be going reasonably well, I'd managed to lose 60kg and was maintaining an acceptable (my doctors word not mine) BG level. Alongside the...

I'm not bashing Subway. I've always enjoyed a sub. But yesterday the office ordered in. I had a 6" cold cut with lettuce and tomato. Before the meal i was at 5.1 after the meal i was 10.3. I though it was wrong so I tested on the other hand. It was 9.8. So i guess Subway is off the list. I...
