[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1803102, member: 400972"] [ATTACH]26927[/ATTACH] Hi Lee and welcome to the Forum. You’ve made a good move coming here. Glad to see daisy1 has been tagged for you. Metformin will only help your blood sugar levels a little, diet is the key. It’s good to see you have cut out obvious sugars like sugary drinks, however it’s a bit more complicated than that. All carbohydrates turn to sugar once eaten, so it’s good you’ve dropped the cereal bars but fruit although thought to be healthy by a lot of people actually contains fructose a natural sugar that is particularly bad for the liver as it’s readily stored as visceral fat. I got my type 2 under good control by using Metformin, reducing my carb intake a lot and self testing as [USER=100904]@Pipp[/USER] has described. I currently eat 40 - 60g carbs per day. See my photo for the comparison of carbs in a peach and a Tracker bar. Not much difference. [/QUOTE]
