[gordie1]

I am a bit worried type 2 diabetic been really silly over last few weeks forgetting to take metformin and eating high sugar foods. I got a real fright friday night blood sugar 21.4 stopped eating high sugar no bad things at all since friday night and then yesterday as well as taking metformin it went down to 14. Then no bad things all day yesterday porridge for breakfast brown bread and !/2 banana 4 hours later blood sugar down to 13 a bit dissapointed because I have been really good.

Mr M has been type 2 diabetic for over 25 years. He started out on Metformin but just couldn't control his blood/sugar levels, the only way was to exercise like mad! He asked to go on insulin and had never looked back. He finds it much easier to manage. Talk to your diabetic nurse, they're very good and are there to help you. Good luck.

I noticed in one of your replys you had a jacket potato plus various other food. I find that potatoes cause my readings to climb. the impotant thing I wish to pass on to you, is go to diabetes .co.uk and do some reading and question writing. Danny.
