[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2325979, member: 511345"] Hello and welcome, You have found the best place in the world for diabetics. Read around there is a lot of information on this site. The first thing I would recommend is to test your levels- if you don't test you don't know what your levels are doing. I assume that some you were on Glicazide that you have a meter- if not you should get one. If you are only on metformin you can start dramatically decreasing the amount of carbs you eat. it isn't just sugars- it's all carbs. people take different approaches to it- some like me dramatically cut their carb intake (less than 20 grams a day and usually much less) others reduce them steadily until their meter tells them that ther=ir body can handle the level of carbs they are eating. You just need to work out what you want to do. The best link I found was; [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] It's a great place to start. Good luck and welcome. [/QUOTE]
