[QUOTE="Andy_J, post: 2276918, member: 526284"] Firstly thank you for replying as I admit I am a bit upset. I never realised if I finger prick first thing its not necessarily the best time to do so another mistake on my part. I was overweight( 9 months ago) and had made an active reduction in what I basically call **** food, I did that about 4-5 months ago, but I noticed it had increased weight loss along with the thirst and peeing. I not what you can call skinny but my diet change is making a weight difference big time. I am shocked at Wheetabix, another mistake on my part as been having them for breakfast with mill and no sugar. Woke up today and did my finger test and its 16 today so feel like I have made more mistakes. All I had yesterday - water ,tea with no sugar, 4 wheetabix( mistake) , more water, lunch was roast beef and and carrots , onions and peppers no potatoes. A greek yoghurt and some nuts on it for pudding. I did have 2 apples during the day and lots of water. I need to find something I can flavout the water without the sugars etc. Thats why I just feel I am messing up as I thought wheetabix was good, I can move to Bacon and egg if needed but I do need breakfast as I get washed out without something in the morning. So if I am being honest my sugar in take has reduced to a very low level in comparison to 6 months ago it dropped about 3 months ago to less than 10-20% , I never realised the reduction can make me feel like **** is the best way to put it. I was a milk gluger ( full fat) , as in I can drink a pint easy in one go, but can see sugars in that so going to see if I can tolerate almond milk. If thats bad please shout. I never eat packet food, as I cook everything myself from scratch but rice, pasta is out now, need to check in bulgar but getting good and bad for it so need to read about so much that I east in a day, worse case I could live on salad and meet/fish as I can happily eat that. I need to sit down and read everything I can to see what mistakes I am making. Next Wednesday I start to double the Metformin to twice a day before breakfast and evening meal so I hope things start to come out of the red levels I see on all the charts. It is appreciated , and I hope its ok if I ask more questions . AJ [/QUOTE]
