Two weeks as a diabetic (type 2) and have leant loads from the forum in such a short space of time.On Metaformin (sp?) slow release - 2000mg - which was not pleased about but GP was't that interested. Have been experimenting with food and then testing a few hours later as advised. A mixed bag but in the main 5.8, 6.8 and a few high at 8.5. Nobody to ask if this is ok, seeing GP in Feb 2019 for blood test. I don't get it, I thought they would want to review stuff after 3 months - but 6 months was the date I was given. Although I am aware the BGL is very changeable. Am keeping to low carbs etc.However today I gave in - and had 1 small square of Green and Black dark chocolate (85%) after studying the nutritional content. At this rate the bar should last for months!
re the chocolate: My husband has one square of Lindt 90% every night. A few weeks ago I found 100% cocoa bar in M&S while shopping - and he said he preferred that because he felt like it was a small reward (lived another day, I guess) but was so bitter he was never going to 'abuse temptation' and eat extra!
