Saw my DN on Monday HbA1c up from 8.1 to 8.5 no weight loss (still at 20st ), peripheral neuropathy stating in both feet. now on 2 x 500mg glucophage - suggestion was I take both with breakfast since I have the dawn phenomena would I be better taking one in the morning and one at night ?
I've cut all major starchy food out of my diet I'm roughly down to about 60gm carb a day maximum although I'm not weighing what I eat to be exact about it. I'm not the most active of people and I think I'm probably eating more than I should - I don't seem to feel full easily.
yesterdays menu was no breakfast, small tuna salad mid morning, chicken salad lunchtime and in the evening I had 4 small porkchops ( 2 were mine and the kids left 2 ) and one spoonful of peanut butter just before bed.
After a brisk walk for 20 to 30 minutes ketostix show the prescence of ketone
Should I always be able to detect ketones or only after exercise ?
Can anyone suggest something that will make me feel full up so I don't eat so much ?
( I don't have much free time unfortunately for anything too involved )
