[QUOTE="davd, post: 2293985, member: 523478"] Hi Diagnosed type 2 end of April 2020 with an HbA1c of 90 and was put on 1mg of Glimepiride daily for 2 months but after going hypo below 4 a few times my doctor took me off Glimepiride and onto metformin. Since then my meter testing has been between 5 and 6.5 averaging 5.9 . I have been low carbing between 30 and 80 carbs a day. I also keep experimenting with different foods and then testing BG levels and the results keep coming back only with a difference of only 1 on my meter no mater what I eat . I can have a beef sandwich on whole meal bread and my levels only rise by one. Today I tested myself to the extreme. At 11am Brunch 3 bacon, beans , 1 egg on whole meal toast , tested two hours later, BG Reading 5.6 . Next best test at 14.30 went to pub and came home at 21.00 after 8 pints of lager ( coors light) . Tested again and could not believe it expecting a high reading but it was 5.6 same as earlier in day . Either beer does not effect my Blood sugar or I am not actually diabetic. You may wonder why I might think that but my thinking is that I have for the past 8 years I have been drinking between 1 and 2 litres of ruby port a week ( I love the drink ) but not anymore. Port is very high in sugar and carbs . So could the port have pushed my blood suger so high it registered me diabetic. Since stopping drinking port my levels have come down to near normal no mater what I eat or drink , just a variation of about 1 on my testing. My next HbA1c is not for another month but I was wondering if my last one of 90 was just based on by drinking too much Port not on my diet . [/QUOTE]
