[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 508664, member: 21149"] Hi. Metformin will only ever reduce your sugar by 1 - 2 mmol. The key is a low-carb diet to help as far as it can. You don't say what your diabetes diagnosis is? If you are young and not overweight then Late onset T1 is likely and you will need to move onto insulin at some point. If overweight then the diet is key to get both weight and blood sugar down. A meter reading of 31 is very high and if you feel ill do go to A&E. Have plenty of water and seriously reduce the carbs. Keep monitoring frequently and if necessary get some ketostix etc to check ketones [/QUOTE]
