[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1452133, member: 375067"] Maybe only take one Metformin tablet per day to begin with. It doesn't reduce blood sugar by much anyway, so some people just use diet to control high blood sugars. Best to start on a low carb diet and your blood sugars will drop very quickly. You should try to get a blood glucose meter to check your blood sugars before and after meals. The types of food to cut down on are: breakfast cereals, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta. Avoid fruit juice. Avoid fruit such as bananas. Strawberries are OK and you can eat them with double cream. Fat in cheese, butter, full fat yoghurt, nuts, avocados is good as it does not raise blood sugars much. As you cut down on carbs you need to increase the amount of fat in your diet to compensate. You will hear the term LCHF which a means low carb high fat diet. This originated in Scandanavia and has been found to be very effective for treating diabetes. [/QUOTE]
