Hello all, I wondered if anybody out there could help me with a minor blip I'm having. I have been given a blood sugar testing kit by GP as it has gone up in the past, but by cutting out sugar I can usually get it back down O.K. However, I have not been feeling myself for the past couple of days and found that they are up to 10 and 11 again, and I just wonder what I am supposed to eat as I am one of these colostomists that can't eat any greens, so tend to live off carbs, potatoes, carrots, rice and bread so I am stuck as to what to do. I don't want to go to GP as I have seen him enough lately with this stupid rectal discharge I have been getting. For anyone lucky enough to have missed my post about this, I know I get a discharge, but it was green and blood stained. So what do I do about this eating lark, any ideas would be gratefully received. I did wonder if it was the Metronidazole I am on, but pre stoma I had that plenty of times, and it didn't seem to have that effect but I guess things can change. Please help as I'm dying for a cup of tea!!
