[QUOTE="Eurobuff, post: 1982315, member: 113391"] Have you looked at the side effects of your antidepressants? Certain ones are linked with increasing blood sugar levels as well and causing type 2 diabetes . I wasn’t overweight at diagnosis but had been taking an antidepressant (Amitriptyline) for 3 years, an American study said that after 1 year of taking them your chances of getting type 2 diabetes increased by 84%. I’m not saying you have type 2 diabetes, you’ll have to see what your doctor says. I think your high readings are more related to your carb intake. I am controlling mine with diet but only eat 50grams of carbs per day. If I eat potatoes or bread my blood sugar rockets. I limit my self to 6 roast potatoes per week and one slice of bread per week, I’m eating Danish bread at the moment as it’s less carbs. I fill up on proteins and fats. Use nuts for snacks, and I love cheese [/QUOTE]
