[QUOTE="carilina, post: 276106, member: 42823"] Hi xyzzy and thank you for replying, This is an example of what happened yesterday: Before breakfast = 9.1 After breakfast (porridge) with 2 metformin and 1/2 Gliclazide = 13.7 Before lunch = 10.6 After lunch (plate of veg only - sprouts, brocolli, cauli, asparagus with some mint sauce and a bit gravy) = 7.1 Before tea = 8.1 After tea (7 strawberries with a piece of brie) with 2 metformin and 1/2 Gliclazide = 6.0 Bedtime (very hungry, had 2 digestives with peanut butter) = 6.3 Basically I am afraid to eat anything and I decided to eat very little yesterday to see what happened with my bg. From lunchtime onwards yesterday after eating just veg and then strawberries for tea I felt very cold and weak and achey. This morning: Before breakfast = 10.6 After breakfast (porridge) 16.0 with ketone warning - 2 metformin (didn't take Gliclazide) :( Before lunch (bag of french fries and half can of semolina) 14.0 (took the half Gliclazide) I only seem to feel ok once a day and that's when I have porridge for breakfast...from lunchtime onwards it's a downhill slippery slope to feeling ****. Maybe I should just eat porridge 3 times a day and nothing else? I just don't know how I should be trying to control this horrible condition - I feel so demoralised because even when I take the medication and try to eat sensibly my bg is all over the place with ketone warnings. When I was diagnosed 3 months ago with a bg level of 24, the doctor did a ketone test and it came back clear...so now it seems that with medication and sensible eating I'm still getting the ketone warnings. :( [/QUOTE]
