Hello
I'm type 2 diabetic and I have been instructed to double the amount of metformin I'm taking, which I have done. I have started testing more often and despite the increased dose, my blood sugar just before dinner was 13. It was 8.8 before lunch and I ate oatcakes 6, taramasolata, an apple and some cheese. I have a similar result with any carbs at all eg bread. I'm very confused as I was told to eat a normal diet with reduced carbs but I don't seem to be able to tolerate any carbs at all.
Any ideas or help welcome. I'm currently following a very low carb diet but I have tried it before and don't find it sustainable.
Many thanks Jane
