Hi
@Scandichic
My bloods during the day are better. I'm happy that they are telling me that LCHF is suiting me. I'm always in the 6.3 - 6.9 range two hours after meals and they are between 6 -8 before bed whereas they used to be up in double figures. I rarely felt ill when they were high - even when they were 13.9 in hospital I felt fine. I used to wake with banging headaches, and was lethargic during the day but have never had dizzineness. Used to wobble a bit when standing up too quickly and I think a few clients may have thought I was tipsy. Not a good look!
I have my breakfast about 2 hours after waking and moving about. I don't snack and rarely eat after 6pm. I take my meds at bedtime (10.30'ish) and again in the morning with breakfast. However, I discovered on another thread last night that metformin is best taken once a day with evening meal and this is confirmed by the leaflet so as from today I shall be taking all 4 tabs with my evening meal (your chicken casserole recipe!!) to see if they work overnight to bring down the fasting bloods. It would make sense, would it not?
@AndBreathe - you have given me some incredibly helpful advice, suggestions and replies, especially on this thread and I would not want to see you disappear from it.
I'm uncomfortable with other posters making us feel guilty just because we are joining in a discussion which is not only relevant to us but beneficial too. Surely no-one has to read every single thread? I never read the T1 threads for example as I can't relate to them and prefer to stay focused only what applies to me and what I believe will help me while I'm still learning about my own T2 and trying to manage it better.
@Scandichic - I'm so positive about LCHF that I'm hoping I won't need the op eventually! I've got the testing kit. What more could I want from the hospital....?
