[QUOTE="Foligno, post: 2015470, member: 268951"] Hi all I was called in to my GP following HbA1c reading of 74 yesterday. I was previoulsy averaging 48 - 54 range. The change has accured over the last 6 months (last test). I'd stopped using my monitor & have been following a 'very' relaxed vegan diet. By this I mean eating high end carbs & not checking my sugar intake. I had noticed excessive night sweating & extreme fatigue-low mood & poor cogitions, so the result was not, if being honest, a complete shock. My diabetic nurse informed that I may need to take additional medication to my usual prescribed Metformin 500 mg 3 daily. But advised that I try life-style & diet change over the next 6 months, to see if things improve. A previous GP advised that I take 2 x 500 mg tablets in the morning & 1 x 500 mg tablet in the evening. But the nurse recommended that I take the tablets morning, lunch & evening with meals. I have been neglecting the middle of the day, eating when absolutey hungery as opposed, adhering to a set meal routine (breakfast, lunch, super), consequence of busy-stressful work schedule. I am now finding that my bm levels are averaging 9-11 mmols. I have started to strictly monitor my diet & even after eating just a one small whole meal toast spread with half an advocado, for breakfast, I noticed that my bm morning pre-meal read was already high at 9.8 mmols (morning) and post meal (2 hrs ) read 10.6 mmols. My BMI is around 29.9. My diabetic nurse has booked me in for a GP medical review in a few weeks time . I would prefer to avoid adding additional medication, but l also recognise that I need to get better control of my diabetes. Does anyone have any advise on how to reverse increasing bm tread via lifestyle & diet? Recommendation regards vegan-diabetic cook books? Or does increasing bm reads indicate an inevitable decline without additional medication. Thanks & best wishes Michael [/QUOTE]
