I'd suggest you talk to your doc before self medication.5.7 today. (5.9 yesterday). I am considering if I should up my night time Metformin from 500mg to 1000mg to see the impact on my fasting levels. I have my review with the GP on the 29th.

I think your fasting levels are good.
I wouldnt do anything until you talk to your doctor.
welcome to the Forum
400gs dried fruit soaked overnight in cup of prune juice, (it was already rum soaked from pkt so needed bit extra flour) day after mixed in cup of quinoa flour & baking powder wth generous amount of mixed spice and two tsp almond essence - one of the oily ones( both to taste of course). The quinoa flour gives slightly nutty taste (oh added some chopped almonds too) and a slight ground almonds texture. You could try adding some actually. It's one of those cakes that you can mess abt wth and still not go far wrong....Like the sound of your cake ours as got plenty of fruit and a bit of brandy

Give it an extra kick of brandy if that lowers b.s. like wine does ;-)Like the sound of your cake ours as got plenty of fruit and a bit of brandy

You can pretty much change anything. I added the nuts to the original recipe and the essence. Fruit juice was orange but I like prune as it mimics the treacle tasteNot sure about the brandy lowering bs. Can you change the nuts because both me and Dad are allergic to them. We have both got epi pens.

I would be quite happy with those figures though, no need to change anything. it's your average that matters not individual numbers, as long as your avers
age is below 7.8 your doing good, from what I understand.
