Hi Julie, I can’t help but notice a lot of the foods and drink you say you consume are fairly high carb i.e Coke, Costa tuna melt, potato wedges, polos. I see you take Metformin and Trulicity. I have taken Metformin in the past and it did little to lower blood sugar, I put my control then down to diet. However I haven’t any experience of Trulicity, does it have such an effect that you can maintain control by taking it whilst eating a higher carb diet than I do? If you don’t mind could you share your last HbA1c result?

the only issue is that the last results i was given were back in January 2024 when i went to a Diabetic course, they suggested i eat more fruit and veg, only issue being that to get told to eat half a apple a day and a handful of grapes but as alot of people do is eat nearly the whole punnet, and they contain the most sugar content of 22 gms per grape. i dont drink milk or have milk products as i am not keen on its taste but i do eat alot of cheese which is high in fat content and can cause my carbs to spike. i dont eat rice pudding or semilina but i do eat rice, on veg wise, i dont have brussels or green beans, but i do eat the rest
