[QUOTE="mo1905, post: 570290, member: 55195"] Firstly, metformin and gliclazide are completely different drugs with different actions, your husband would not or should not have been swapped for the other. Also, it doesn't matter if you are "rotund" or not. You are doing the right thing by reducing carbs. It can get confusing when you replace crisps with nuts as some nuts are still fairly high carb but just eat less. The best advice is to try to encourage your husband to test regularly. That way he can see how certain foods affect him. Experiment with various low carb foods and see how his blood glucose levels react. Ideally, test before and 2 hours after a meal. You should be looking to see a rise of no more than 2 or 3 mmol between before meal reading and 2 hour post meal reading. If there is anything else specific you want to ask, please do. Tell him not to give up though, control is the best way to avoid long term complications.
