Well, I started on this journey approx. 1 month ago. Before seeing a meriad of "professionals" who are supposed to be looking out for my better interests, I took it upon myself to stop eating white, watch my carbs, stick with full fat products such as cheese, mayo, etc. and up my intake of water, as well as make sure I get daily exercise.
At my last visit to my family doctor, he decided that even though I had brought my BG numbers down from 270 to the 140 to 160 range, it wasn't good enough and increased my Metformin to 3 x 500mg per day from 2 x per day.
Well, since this time my numbers have increased, I feel like crap and I'm ready to say "#%@^ it!". For breakfast this morning, I had 2 poached eggs on a bed of spinach, a breakfast sausage and a bit of cheddar cheese grated on top of my eggs. For lunch I had a green salad with a bit of tomato, another small sprinkle of cheddar cheese and a cup of green tea. So far my BG for today has ranged from 160 to 180. WTF?????? This was also in amongst an hour walk and cleaning our motorhome from top to bottom.
Ready to give up!
