[QUOTE="HappyBee, post: 2604274, member: 569040"] Good Morning, I’m going through something very similar. I was diagnosed pre diabetic in November and had my fasting glucose which was 61 in Feb. I was dx with Type 2 & over the course of 3 weeks I was put on 2000mg of Metformin a day. My son bought me a testing kit so I could track what potential foods were spiking me but I found out so much more! Despite taking Metformin, my waking BG was between 15.5 & 17.5mols. It was going down to around 6 just before lunch and then steadily climbing throughout the day. I mentioned This to my gp and he asked me to do a discovery sheet for a week which I did and the Discovery for me is that he thinks I need insulin and that I also have LADA not Type 2. He’s booked me in for the GAD test on the 5th May so we’ll find out but either way it looks like insulin is the way forward for me. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
