Thanks all for most informative replies.

If any of the following is of any help to anyone ....

I use a mmol meter and am currently taking
2 Glyclacide and 2 metformin morning and evening

At last check up medication was increased
2 more metformin at lunchtime


However since going from diet only to medication, which was about 12 months
ago
i have put on weight.

Due to other probs i was until recently unable to exercise.

Now i am able to exercise i do so by walking some 3.75 miles
1 to 2 times a day.
It takes me 1 hour approx

This has had a massive affect on my levels.

after a walk i can find myself down as low as 4.5.
whereas previous i was always 10 and above morn till night

Needless to say i have not needed to take the increased medication. ( the 2
metformin at lunchtime).

So exercise is doing it for me.

Typical days grub is

Breakfast
Small bowl of
Porridge oats made with water and some sweetner sprinkled .

Lunch
2 eggs and 4 slices toast using brown bread and flora light spread.

Evening Meal
Casserole

always whole vegatables and if with meat always lean


Comments on my diet gratefully appreciated

Also there seems to be a question mark over the use of Aspartame in
sweetners.

Constructive comments would be great
Sorry if i have rambled on a bit.
It is my way.
