Hi to you all

I’m Nicola and I’m type 2. I was diagnosed 2.5 years ago and until recently had things reasonably in control, having excellent and good HbA1C readings.

Struggling again at the moment to get my readings stable but am testing before and after my meals.

I’m on Metformin twice a day (850g).

Looking forward to talking to fellow diabetics.
 
Hello @Nicola1a, I see you have already posted and if I haven`t said before welcome to the forum.🙂 Please explain what your concern is, e.g. your pre meal and your post 2 hours readings are on a typical day. Carbs are probably the main issue but not always`s.

Hi there,

Hope you’ve had a good day.

My main issues are breakfast and lunch, my pre readings are averaging 9 and post between 12 and 15.

What used to be ok doesn’t seem to be at the moment but as another member pointed out lunch readings can be even higher if morning ones are. My average carbs per meal are 25g and 10-15g if I have a snack.

I’ve had some good advice on my first post so going to try a couple of different things over the next week.

I have my next review soon too so will talk it through there.

Thank you for the reply
