[QUOTE="Henry W, post: 16205, member: 9526"] Having been diagnosed a year ago. Started off on Gliclazide, stopped taking it due to side effects, giddy spells and low b/s, went down to average of 3.0, so stopped taking anything for 11months. Then prescribed Metformin, 500mg a day for two weeks and then 1000mgs per day thereafter, (2 a day) which I started a week ago. Results: No drop in blood sugars at all. Last 21 days' readings: Average per day 14.0, this morning 16.5. Diet. High Carb, lo fat, Last night, as example, two slices of granary bread- lo fat spread, plate of smoked salmon, 2 small glasses dry white wine. Lunch, grilled skinless chicken breast, broccolli. Breakfast tinned tomatoes on granary toast, 2 poached eggs. Day before similar, but grilled steak for lunch, large portion 8oz steamed broccoli, nothing for supper as had stomach cramps which I have been having for three days and now advised to stop taking the metformin. Point is I have been overweight for 15 plus years, 17.5-18st, prior to that 14st, but started to gain weight when I gave up smoking, I have walked on average 1.5 hours per day with my dogs, been on a low fat diet for the same period, I have drunk heavily in the past, but for the last fortnight cut right back to nothing more than 2 units on average every 3 days, honest, I have my wife monitoring me. I have lost no weight at all in the last two weeks, I have had, for the last 20+ years a blood pressure of 110/55 and an at rest heart rate of 45-50bpm. Could it be the fact that I might have a metabolic problem, its just I can't seem to get my GP to test for it. Where can I get the oils suggested and is there diet sheet one can download? [/QUOTE]
