[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1425159, member: 355878"] I had a dreadful few weeks trying to take Metformin and live a normal life - so I gave up the Metformin and ate low carb - all seems well now. Low carb for me is no grains, no potatoes, nothing starchy - I try to eat foods with less than 11 percent carbs - so your lunches might be OK for me, but the rest of what you are eating would push my BG levels into the teens. Did the nurse not advise that you be cautious about the amount of porridge, pasta and potatoes you eat? They are all high carb and cause high blood glucose readings. I checked meals - taking readings before and 2 hours after, and modified what I ate according to my readings - I want to be under 8.5 after eating. [/QUOTE]
