[QUOTE="carilina, post: 276703, member: 42823"] I've been making the porridge with half each of skimmed milk and low fat milk. If I had to make it with just water :thumbdown: I would be able to give it up no probs - having said that, with the brilliant results I've had today, then I think I will just have porridge a couple of times a week rather than every day and try something else other days. As I said earlier my bg level was 8.6 before tea and it was 6.5 two hours later. I find it incredible that it actually went down rather than up! And all because I started the day properly it's had a knock-on effect all day. The only reason I had the small banana was because I was feeling shaky and my bg was down to 4.1, which is the lowest it's ever been since being diagnosed. There are a few things that I'm still unclear about. What is the difference between a non-diabetic being able to eat porridge and a diabetic not being able to eat it? What is the difference between being non-diabetic and being diabetic? What is it about carbs that makes the bg level rise? Maybe if I understood it all a bit better then it would make life a bit easier. What does the Glic do that makes me need to be wary of it? Maybe I should go back to just half tomorrow and see what happens? I did go a bit low today (for me) but apparently 4.1 is still within a good range and I probably didn't need the banana - but I was just about to go out in the car and the doctor said I should always test before driving and not to drive if my bg was under 5. What does the metformin do? Have just done my final test for today (4 hours after tea) and it's gone up a bit to 7.5. [/QUOTE]
