I've reduced my units from 80 to 40. And I still take 2 Metformin tablets with each meal.My BG levels aren't too bad.On waking they're around the 5 mark and the sameish before bed time too.When my appetite was down I wasn't interested in eating hardly anything, a typical days food from my diary is this:-(before 4.7) A small bowl of cornflakes (30g) with skimmed milk and a sprinkling of Canderal sugar and a cup of tea, skimmed milk, no sugar. (2 hours later 10.1)(before 5.4) Later on 2 slices wholemeal bread, Flora spread, with mature grated cheddar cheese and pickle, handful of grapes (2 hours later 10.1)Carbs didn't really interest me or sweets or cakes. Wasn't hungry late at night.But now I'm finding they do interest me, I'm eating more of them now, plus I'm feeling hungry again at night.Todays food has been:-(before 5.8) 2 slices white bread, Flora spread, thin slices of mature cheddar cheese and a sliced tomato sandwich, bananna and 4 small fruit sweets (after 7.7)(before 8.8) for tea, 7.30pm - small homemade veg lasagne with a salad garnish and a couple of boiled new potatoes (used 2 sheets of pasta 35g raw) Then had a bag of Walkers crisps and a chocolate wafer bar and a handful of red grapes (after 13.9)Feeling peckish again now and could easily eat something.
