[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2157812, member: 372717"] Well the first question I have to ask is whether you've had a c-peptide test to check whether you are T1 rather than T2 (lots of doctors assume that you're T2 if over 30, that is just NOT the case). If you're genuinely T2, then your best bet is to watch the carbs (aka go low carb) as your body just can't process carbs correctly. [URL="http://www.dietdoctor.com"]www.dietdoctor.com[/URL] Forget bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, plus all the obvious cakes and biscuits sweet stuff, and (unfortunately) most fruit other than berries. Cereals are just dreadful for T2s. It won't do you any harm to go low carb (though you may need to reduce the gliclazide to avoid hypos if it works for you), but with your family history I'd hope that they've done every test under the sun to make sure you're not T1/LADA. And don't be afraid to get medical advice if your readings continue high. Diabetic ketoacidosis is common among undiagnosed T1s and kills pretty quickly. Consider getting some ketone testing strips from the chemist and make sure they don't run high. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
