[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 937783, member: 43498"] That's great to hear. 7.2 and 7.8 are under 7.8 which is the target maximum so I'm not sure why he had an issue with them. Unless they were fasting or before meals? Even then, it's early days and things will improve over time. Re going on meds, I think it's best to wait until you have reached the 3 month mark and had another HbA1c and fasting BG done by the lab. It's ok to try diet (no meds) for 3 months, it's even in the NICE guidelines I think (it's in the NZ guidelines, which are based on the Scottish ones). Since going off metformin lowered your BGs I would expect them to continue to lower over the next few weeks. As you probably know, I'm not convinced Forgixa and Bydureon are good options, based on what I've read at Blood Sugar 101, which is based on studies showing various risks. I've probably given you the links before but if you want to see the info just do a search on the website for the drug names. I think you are making progress - keep up the good work! :) [/QUOTE]
