[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 1471713, member: 29023"] John, I have some experience with bowel issues, and high fibre and a stoma just don't mix! I agree that this won't happen in the time scale you want, but I think you can significantly lower those numbers, even with your meds. Simplest way to hit the ground running - cut out cereals, bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. All sorts not just the white, wholemeal versions can be just as high carb. Don't skimp on fats, eg scrambed eggs made with a bit of butter. Lunch, salad with eggs or cheese, Dinner, replace sounds etc with extra veg, try celeriac mashed with but of butter and cream ( not too much, or it will play havoc with your tum). Meat is good, fish is good minus batter and chips! Check bloods just before meals and two hours after. I know this seems a massive undertaking but it can be done and your levels should start to drop. Metformin doesn't do much for levels, there are other meds, and the option of insulin if other measures don't work. Ask questions here, as often as you need to. [/QUOTE]
