[QUOTE="midiman, post: 2254108, member: 513344"] Hi Jo, Yes that is the problem now. I feel that I might be overeating now, and I often feel like skipping a meal or two. Taking the Glic means that I can't skip a meal and have to keep eating at all times. It is still early days and therefore I am going to have to work out how to do this. My regular clinician spoke to me yesterday and she said advised to keep doing what I am doing and, 1. Take one Glic and see if I can get it under double digits. 2. Take two Glics if I cant and see if I can get it under double digits. 3. Stop taking Glic altogether once I can get it at a good level and see if I can maintain it on Metaforim and diet alone. I,m not eating veg because that will turn to Carbs but I might introduce some once I can get my levels slightly better. I have to remember that I have only just become aware of what my blood level glucose score is. So at least now I will be able to adjust my food, and/or medication to see how it affects the readings over a period of time. There is a booklet with the monitor that actually states asks you to record what you have been doing over the course of the day. i.e anything different than what you done on the previous day that could have made the reading go up or down. Like heavy exercise, or eating more food than normal etc.. I will take another reading before bed and compare it to yesterday. Once I have 2 weeks of data I will be able to have a better picture of how my diet, meds and exercise affect the score. Then I can - Maybe low my portions of food if I am overeating. Skip a meal but not breakfast if I am overeating. Add a bit more exercise. That;s the plan and then I should be able to see what works for me. Thanks [/QUOTE]
