[QUOTE="san-777, post: 2322186, member: 531206"] Hi! Just came back from hospital with him today, and thx for all your comments. So his diet and numbers: Just after getting up in the morning, Glucos usually is: 6.0 ~ 7.5. [LIST] [*]Also tested him once at 3am: 6.7, so, no Somogyi effect yet. [/LIST] [B]Breakfast[/B]: 2 pieces of wholemeal bread, +salami, +coffee with milk, +peanut small amount, +roasted sunflower seed a little bit (in future it will be raw), + half walnut x 2 or so. [B]Glocus mid [/B]morning: only a few tests have been done for this time point and it's usually ~ 7. So, not gonna cut down on wholemeal bread yet. [B]Lunch[/B]: pasta ≦50g (cut further and further down from ~80), meat or 2 eggs or fish, vegetables. [B]Glucos[/B] 2 hr after meal: have seen ~7/8/9, all sorts. [B]Supper[/B]: rice ~50g or even less since this Wednesday (cut further and further down from ~80g); Red meat or poultry or fish. Vegetables. [B]Glucos [/B]2hr after: started off 15/16, then with immediate change of diet right after his diagnosis + Metformin, he soon came down to ~10. Then suddenly jumped back to as high as 16.3 (and to rule out accidental error, we did a 2nd test on another finger) /but maybe he was [COLOR=#4da6ff]stressed up inside[/COLOR]?/ Yesterday it came down to 9.1 but he only ate a very small portion of everything. [B]Snacks between meals [/B]when hungry: can be anything like carrots or cucumber (salted + garlic + vinegar, cos raw carrot is really not in our list of favourites), low fat natural yogurt with no sugar (occasionally with a pinch of microwaved frozen sweetcorn which does not seem to impact his blood much but maybe we need to check on it again), soy milk unsweetened, nuts. Just started to try canned beans/chickpeas (1/4 of a tin). Fruits like a small apple. We are still on whole milk, maybe we should move to semi-skimmed (?) Sometimes he eats a bit of Tesco bran (yes there’s sugar in it but when very tired, we have to give in to convenience). His BMI is sitting on the upper end of the healthy range. But due to his other symptoms/illness and back pain and his sedentary work and all that, its hardly possible to exercise away his glucos… hence I suspect he may need some other medication… (at the beginning I really wished Metformin would reduce his sugar level magically as it does for some patients.. But it is not happening... [/QUOTE]
