[QUOTE="andreaabbott1, post: 444664, member: 88720"] Hello I am posting on behalf of my husband who is a techno phobic. He is 66 and was diagnosed with type 2 when he had a heart bypass 12 years ago To be honest he has been in denial all that time and had abused himself with what he eats these can include sweets meant for kids , crisp, pies, chips, cakes. I have kept on at him but to no avail The past fortnight he blood sugars have been in the 20 obviously he has had headaches and felt tired and had a wake up call. He will make every excuse going for not exercising and for comfort eating . The same as I do for smoking He takes 1000 mg slow release metformin daily which he takes in the morning ( he still gets the dumping urge and the runs) He also takes Aspirin 75 mg Levothyroxine 125 mg Amlodipine 10 mg Atenolol 50 mg Omeprazole 10 mg He takes all these in the morning at the same time and takes Perindopril 8mg at night His blood sugar this morning was 11.4 he has just eaten two hard boiled eggs and two slices of burgen sunflower and chia with real butter I have told him to take his bloods again in 2 hours time normally 2 hours after eating anything his bloods are 17.4 how much should he drink water wise in the day and what is the average for morning blood sugar levels Our GP doesnt seem at all bothered but surely maintaining high blood between 11 and 20 is not healthy Andrea [/QUOTE]
