[QUOTE="Montyshrew, post: 936492, member: 205587"] M I'm on Metformin X2 and Forxiga, I do not know what my glucose levels are or what they should be the Nurse has not advised me to get a self-testing kit. But I have almost removed ''Bad Carbs'' from my diet along with added to sugary drinks/food etc. But I do eat quite a bit of the wholegrain/Brown ''good''carb food. As i'm listing all my meals into a database I can record my Carb intake, and it is almost always below the recommend level for someone to lose weight. Should I stay with what I'm currently doing until I have my next Blood Glucose test? I am concerned about the advice on swapping the ''good'' Carbs with high fats/salty foods such as meat as the cholesterol levels peak and I have been told to reduce this too. But on a bright note I am losing fat off my belly and weight in general by following a diet/exercise plan. Should I continue for now or swap the ''Good Carb's'' for protein? [/QUOTE]
