I'm now on glucophage 1000mg twice a day.

An impossible thirst and the fact that I was urinating about 6 times a night cause me to seak an answer on the net which in turn got me to the doctor.

I tested straight after gym tonight and had a reading of 8.1 mmol/l. What's up with that?

Thanks to xMenace for the newbies link! Simple sound advice that in the dark days immidiately post diagnosis, one simply doesn't think of.





I hope to learn and contribute here!

You need to remember one thing we are what we eat. You need to start eating food made with whole grains, Brown rice, whole grain bread, whole grain pasta, dreamfields make a really good pasta I love their penne I had it for dinner with a nice meat sauce my bg was 110 2 hours later and that was with two pieces of whole grain bread.
