Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

970 cals sounds far too low to me! You might need to increase you cals as you body will compensate which could account for not losing weight. Carbs look ok, but you might need more fat or protein

Sorry to go off topic but what's the benefit of this My Fitness Pal app? Is it worth getting?

It's a downloadable app that helps calculate everything diet wise. I think its brill it's helps with working out your cals according to height and weight, and also has a database of food items, so it's easy to work out you intake each meal. It's worth a look, it helps me keep on track
 
Thanks Bluetit, Sable and Dibbles. Looks like I am going to have to stop the cream :-(

After I've finished the gallons I have in the fridge, that is!
 
magic 4.8 this morning
 
I never liked butter creams and all and now have to eat it
I think this complete change of diet with met has taken my stomach by storm as i feel bloated and too much gas as i can feel water making noise and buubly feeling.
Is this normal with metformin or is it definitely nor suiting me.
 

It is known for its gas inducing properties. Can you ask for the slow release version which is kinder on the stomach?
 

I had the same problems, stomach cramps, gas, gurgling stomach, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. So, it could well be the metformin, and it may not be suiting you. Some folks have said these symptoms die down after a bit, but I was on Metformin for five years and it just got worse. Best to have a chat with your GP
 
The two level tbsps of flax add up to extra 100 calories......
 

So sorry to hear about your discomfort. Been there, my intense pain was the Metformin.... Took me about a week to feel 'normal'... If it is the Metformin, you'll start feel a little better each and every day. I stopped mine in early September. Good luck!
 

At times I fancy a homemade slaw from a nice green cabbage and full fat mayo, sour cream and some mustard for 'tang'.
 
So unlucky... Constant pain must increase your readings too, no? It's a lot to juggle...
 
It's all about trial and error with us, isn't it? Balancing your health, taste-buds and BG levels... crumbs... at least we don't have time to get bored...
 
That reminds me, those Aktipatch on tv sound like they work on same principle as TENS. Must go online request my free trial one, esp way my shoulder has been....
I have not heard of that... how interesting... I hope you haven't got a frozen shoulder starting? Or an impingement... hard to tell them apart...
