I was diagnosed in Jan this year with a reading of 19.3 I am 64yrs and did also get a lot of lower stomach pain, I am on 2 daily 500mg of Metformin SR tablets, I follow the LCHF diet, although sometimes I struggle with high fat so go for med or low fats this works better for me, we are all different. Now 8 weeks on I have lost nearly a stone and a half. I feel fitter IBS gone, stomach pains settled down and BG readings in single numbers 5s and 6s I am happy with this at this stage. There is a forum called " What Have You Eaten Today " go to the forum and see what we all eat in a day, my advice is to try some of the meals and then test 2hrs after, you will see what spikes you and what is ok, you will soon get used to dealing with everything, once you get the food sorted out you will feel a whole lot better.
