What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Presuming you are on meformin the tummy problems are not a surprise. I once went to a lecture by a consultant diabetologist. Talking about the side effects of metformin he described them as ranging from mild indigestion to explosive diarrhoea ( his words not mine ). Can vouch for that personally until i changed to the sustained release form of metformin

It seems as if I’m allergic to metformin as had normal,slow release,and extra slow as well so have been taken off of it and put on a different tablet called sitagliptin

Staying over night. My appointment is at Toronto General, and we’re staying at the Delta Chelsea which is right next to it. Just have to figure out where to eat.

Hi. My BG this morning was 5.8. Hope everyone has been doing well, and not getting into to much trouble.;) I’m heading to Toronto again tomorrow. I’m seeing a top neurologist in my country Tuesday to see if they can sort out some weakening I’ve had in my legs and feet. Hopefully it isn’t to serious, and that a course of action can be taken.

Cauliflower rice is a good substitute. You can whiz some up in a processor or buy it ready prepared in most big supermarkets now.
I find it's best fried to dry it out a bit, and maybe add some coconut oil and spices if you aren't keen on taste of cauliflower.

Prem...never been a lover of Cauliflower...or veggies per se...but...did try it...from the minute I opened the packet...couldn't tolerate it...the smell got to me first I'm afraid..it was all down hill from there...I reverted right back to my childhood...sitting in front of my mother & a plate of veggies...her saying it's good for you...me refusing point blank to eat them...a bit like the 'stand off' in one of those awful old western movies...I never did eat them:yuck::yuck::yuck:.
