Thank you I’m on a very low carb and sugar diet my sugars were coming down before I swapped medication it’s all very weird
Hi nothing new going on just changed on Tuesday 1st May I have improved my diet over the last three months and am losing weight steadilyHave there been any other changes, such as extra stress or anxiety? Changes in exercise? Could you be harbouring an illness, a virus, hay fever?
By how much have your levels increased? Do you test before and after meals?

Morning one is always around 10-12 no change
Thank you
I eat the same everyday its avocado on sourdough with a poached egg or scrambled egg and avocado no bread at all. Avocado and chicken with a small salad of tomato cucumber and lettuce and the same in the evening - so boring!!That is a big difference, and even before the change they were too high. Maybe it is your diet. If you tell us what you eat in a typical day we may be able to spot something you could change.
It’s the same as I was eating beforeI eat the same everyday its avocado on sourdough with a poached egg or scrambled egg and avocado no bread at all. Avocado and chicken with a small salad of tomato cucumber and lettuce and the same in the evening - so boring!!

Was waiting for the sugars to settle then was going to add stuff in I’m told cherries blueberries and pears are good is this correct?That is very boring! Are you struggling to find decent meals? There is no need to be boring. Have you thought about ditching the sourdough (rather high in carb - and it is bread!) and having bacon, eggs, a tomato, mushrooms, and a high meat content sausage (97% meat) for either breakfast or lunch. You could also have a bowl of double cream or a full fat yogurt with a few strawberries or raspberries thrown in for a pudding. What about other types of meat, fish, especially oily fish like salmon, vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and kale. Not forgetting loads of eggs, with any meal.
Have a look at this thread for some ideas,

Thank youThe foods I mentioned will not raise blood sugars - you can add them any time. Carbs are the culprits.
Fruit is very difficult for us because of all the fructose it contains. The best choices are strawberries and raspberries - but only in small quantities. I find blueberries raise my levels too much. A small pear maybe OK but I wouldn't risk too many cherries.
Exactly same thing happened to my BG the slow release was not concentrated enough to affect the absorbtion of carbs, I have low stomach acidity, I have now gone back to standard metformin taken as 1 tablet before meal 3 times a day usually with a warm drinkHi
My doctor has changed me from metformin to metformin SR but my sugars are higher is this normal? Does it take time for the new metformin to work? It’s been 8 days?
Thank you for reading

With eggs you can't have too many! A true superfood, low in carb high in protein. Dietary cholesterol has been debunked, it's just not relevant.wont eating loads of eggs push your cholesterol levels up?
im type 2 on gliclazide 40 mg 2 in the morning and one before evening meal but also on one statin b4 bed so need to watch my cholesterol
Hi. Couple years ago myself & another on this site were put on SR & we both had same problem. Bgs went higher so after 2 months or so went back to standard metformin, I prefer stomache upset occasionaly to higher bgs. Hope SR works better for youHi
