[QUOTE="myracat, post: 2174186, member: 377064"] Hi all, not posted on here recently we thought everything was under control. However OH has returned from his standard nurse appt in surgery with the news that his HBA1c is now back up to 124 despite being on 1 x Pregabalin per day. He did not want me to go with him to the appt so I have to rely on his version of events but apparently the word injection and insulin was mentioned and they want him to see someone about his cholesterol which is a bit on the high side. He is allergic to eggs except in cakes or Yorkshire pudding, that sort of thing so he struggles with getting his calorie intake up high enough for his physical job (removals and furniture making/antiques fairs). He is quite thin. Apparently at one point a nurse said pastry was fine so he has been eating the odd pie, pecan slice (nuts) and he eats the lowest carb ice-cream he has found from Lidl. Dinners are what I'm having normally, lots of vegs plus meat or goats cheese, very occasionally a burger with wholemeal roll and say 6 chips and a heap of salad and lunch is normally a sandwich and a yoghurt with a diet coke on a meal deal. possibly the odd banana. He has quite a lot of cream and full fat milk and cheese. I thought there was something up as he's been 'losing it' a fair bit lately (I am interpreting this as brain fog). Lots of screaming and jumping up and down especially around 12.45 when he is 'hangry'. I have just suggested he stops the Pringles which goes with the diet coke at 6 or 7 and substitutes with nuts. What else an I give him to give him energy, put on weight but keep his BG levels low? Any help/suggestions gratefully received. I suggested he look up some recipes on-line for almond flour cake with sweetener etc but he says he's too busy and when he finishes work he just goes to sleep on the sofa and leaves me to get the dinner.Edited to add @Their solution is to prescribe sllow release Gliclazide which didn't agree with him in the purer form, theybsuggest he takes it in the norning but he is convinced it will make him start vomiting again which is what the Metformin did in the first place 3 years ago!
