[QUOTE="DaveB64, post: 2480924, member: 552326"] Hi ,I'm hoping someone on here can offer some advice. I have been type 2 diabetic for over 10 years. I take 2 gms of metformin ( 1gm morning, 1gm night) and 80mg Gliclazide ( 1 morning , 1 night) ramparil once a day 50mg . So i am constantly being told by my GP that my diabetes is very poorly managed and my glucose levels are far too high ( 1 average between a low of14.5mmol and a high of 26mmol). I am on a strict zero carb diet and have been for months ( only eating natural carbs in vegetables and an occasional piece of fruit) but I cannot get my blood sugar levels below 14 - 16mmol.I only ever drink black coffee or tea and water ( no juices, fizzy drinks, squashes etc) I have fasted for the day = 15.6mmol average with no food I have eaten,3 eggs scrambled for breakfast, 3 celery sticks for lunch and a chicken breast with a tomato for dinner with no snacks - 17.9mmol average for the day Eat a normal diet for the day (inc carbs like potato, bread, pasts or rice ) = 17.5-21.5mmol average. I would also like to add that I have never had a hypo or hyper , no issue with my eyes or any diabetic symptoms in the 10 years since being diagnosed I am 6 kilos heavier than i was aged 28 ( i am now 57 ) and my weight is 91kgs or 14st 4 lbs . Does anyone have similar problems or advice i can use to get them down ? Any help would be appreciated . Dave [/QUOTE]
