[QUOTE="oldgreymare, post: 2372425, member: 20373"] Are you prescribed a BG meter and how many strips per month? Ideally you need enough strips to test BG levels between 6-8 times a day. This is the minimum tech you will need to have in order to take 'ownership' of your diabetes. But these are not always provided under the UK NHS for Type 2s. If you think you are going hypo then immediately Test! Do note the false hypo syndrome - if you have been running high BGs, reducing to normal safe levels may make you feel hypo. You only know for sure by testing. Lower carb definitely helps stopping yoyo-ing between extreme swings of hyper and hypo BGs. Sadly a large amount of current nutritional advice may not be accurate for diabetics in particular. Carbs are NOT essential nutrients! So it is up to you by trial and error to figure what is the optimal combination of protein, fat and carb (if any) that suits both your metabolism and importantly also your lifestyle. Metformin XR is a great very safe drug that may have additional off label anti inflammatory / anti carcinogenic impact if you can tolerate it. This website is an excellent resource. [/QUOTE]
