[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1339188, member: 355878"] I was diagnosed only recently, but have seen my blood glucose drifting downwards as I have stuck to low carb foods - despite advice to use the 'Eatwell' guide - I have a meter which was my mother in law's and bought lancets and strips to use with it - I can't afford any more, but my levels dropped from over 17 at diagnosis to an average of under 8, so I know that I have to avoid grain, starchy vegetables, sugary fruit - just about anything processed, and most legumes - I tested and saw that they raised BG. I'm going to lose weight - a stone already, keep my BG down and see what that does for the first three months. I'm supposed to be taking a statin and Metformin, but the statin sent me senile - could not remember anything, did the shopping twice and left the first lot in the car to spoil, couldn't find the car in the supermarket car park - so I stopped them, and I am using the Metformin as a laxative. The effect of the statins wore off to some extent - but I still can't remember the answer to one of the security questions I set up - but I hope it will come back to me. [/QUOTE]
