[QUOTE="milo, post: 242444, member: 40764"] I too have just been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes - between Christmas and New Year. Taking one 500mg of Metformin twice per day, third one starts this week. Getting free prescriptions with monitor and test strips etc. DN said I must have carbs at every meal - been reading the advice on this site and decided to experiment last night. Orignal blood sugars were running at 20+ struggled to get it down, walking for an hour helped but as soon as I ate again it would jump back up. So last night tested before evening meal 16.9 - had not eaten since 12.30pm, for dinner just had steamed smoked cod and sweetcorn with a low sugar, low fat yoghurt for desert, two hours later tested at 12.7. This morning tested at 13.4, the lowest morning result yet. So thank you to all of you for your advice, I will continue to monitor my carb intake and see how I go. Hello to all my fellow diabetics I will post how I am getting on and thank you again for this wonderful informative site. Milo [/QUOTE]
