[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 313847, member: 31362"] Agree with the others. Sort out the diet before you worry about the meds With meds, metformin is a good safe drug, but most people prefer to stay of the more serious drugs like Gliclazide etc if they can. As said, Glic can cause hypos and also puts extra strain on our already weakened pancreas. With diet, cut back on the starchy carbs like the rice, pasta, flour products and potatos. Doctors like to talk about "healthy diets", but what's healthy for non diabetics isn't necessarily healthy for us. Make up the food with more dairy, meat, fish and leafy veg. It's the carbs that raise your BGs, and you need to reduce them to a level you can tolerate. Test two hours after eating, and if you're above 7.8, reduce the carbs in that meal the next time you have similar. You'll soon work out what you can and can't eat. [/QUOTE]
