[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2102503, member: 400972"] Hi Waterlady and welcome! First let me thank you for supporting your husband by joining this forum and wanting to help him. Here is a link to our useful info: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.17088/[/URL] Metformin is a mild drug and only helps a tiny bit, diet is the key. Have a read of the info and you’ll see it is carbohydrates that matter not just sugars. Get your husband to concentrate on the carb count of foods rather than just sugars, so cutting down drastically or eliminating bread, rice, pasta, potatoes etc.. is the way to go too. He’s lucky to be given a testing kit but he needs to use it methodically, testing right before a meal and two hours afterwards will help him learn what foods/meals are spiking his blood sugar levels. Once you’ve had a read around the forum, come back with any questions. [/QUOTE]
