[QUOTE="JayBee28, post: 2446470, member: 549078"] Good morning all, I’m three weeks in now having being newly diagnosed with Type 2. I seem to be doing really well apart from my morning glucose readings which are really high. For example, Saturday was 8.1 and this morning 9.6 which really shocked me. This is what I did Yesterday starting with 8.1 reading. Brunch 11am: scrambled egg, smoke salad and some baby tomatoes I’d cooked in the oven, cup of tea, semi skimmed milk (no carbs) Afternoon, 2 hours of gardening Took reading again, it was 4 A few Almonds and Walnuts cup of tea, no sugar skimmed milk Then went to a concert in the evening and had dinner out and ate the following: Starter: Mozzarella salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, cheese, grated carrot and a splash of olive oil on the top) Main: Salmon and Vegetables (mangetout, brocolli and carrots, no potatoes, bread etc) Dessert: nothing just a cup of tea Drank sparkling water, no alcohol all evening. Reading when I got home was 6.9 Slept awful as going through menopause at the moment Reading this morning 9.6 I wasn’t going to take the Metformin that the nurse has prescribed 1 tablet in the mornings, but I’m having second thoughts now. I was going to try porridge with almond milk and strawberries for breakfast, but not sure now, Any advice would be most welcome, I’m not sure if it’s my body getting used to the new regime. To be honest, the no carb eating I’m not finding difficult as I love cooking and it’s s new challenge. Thank you all. [/QUOTE]
