How Long Before Fasting Bs Corrects After Lapsing?

Well the bread is about 2 inches square. The potatoes are very small new. Nectarines just one off. I am slim not really wanting to lose much weight - endochronologist called me skinny T2. I have familial T2 - not weight or poor life style.

Basically I am getting so hungry like never before. I researched gliclazide to find it can cause weight gain and hunger. The hunger feeling is not just munchies - it is an extreme empty feeling that is difficult to ignore! Seeing DB GP in 2 weeks, I was hoping for better blood sugars. I did eat some chocolate as I call it, my antipressant - this year been the stuff of nightmares.
We in the throes of moving - most of the onus on me in every way. Husband is going to sheltered accommodation - due to problems experienced through personality change in Parkinsons. I am going to have granny annex at daughter's, the whole process is dragging on and on. Been very wearing, I know I should be more careful with diet but pretty hard at the moment. And, yes, I know only I can change it.

I was happily jogging along with fairly good readings - out of the blue, about 2 weeks ago they shot up!

Of course I want to control by diet - already cut out rice and pasta my goals loves ans chocolate.

What does everyone else eat to satisfy hunger and keep a handle on blood sugars?
Tablet makes you produce more insulin. More insulin makes you hungry. Stopping high carb foods so you can reduce Gliclizide or stop it would be the answer but if you find that diet too extreme then feed your insulin, but be warned. Added weight is a nightmare to lose. In my case dangerous.

Your consultant can feel easy giving you Gliclizide since your not overweight but if you start adding weight, what's the plan?
These specialist aren't always available nor a longterm support. Once you get discharged to GP then you will be expected to change your diet, still.
Isn't it better to do now? Before you add weight and end up with related health problems.
