[QUOTE="LonelyFatGuy, post: 2679165, member: 553038"] Most mornings I wake up at 6 mmol. That would be 7 mmol if not for 2g of Metformin a day. I have 100g of Cheerios and 300ml of semi-skimmed milk every day for breakfast, and a whey protein shake that gives me 42 grams of protein. 2 hours after that meal I would be at around 8.5 or 9 mmol. [B][I]It would be 12 or more without the whey -[/I][/B] I can prove this every time by not drinking the shake; it is saving me from a doubling where I'd go from 6 up to 12 (or more). Now with the recent introduction of 100mg Sitagliptin, it might be 7 mmol, if that, 2 hours after breakfast. So, roughly a further 66% reduction. (an increase of only 1 mmol going from 6 to 7, instead of 6 to 9 - the 2 mmol saved / avoided being the 66%) All this to say that you can have your cake (or Cheerios) and eat it / them, with a combintion of whey protein and Sitagliptin.
