Morning everyone, 5.0 today, have a nice Monday.
@Bubbsie Could the coffee be a cause of the higher BP readings? I take my BP readings every morning, but before I have my morning coffee as it raises my BP a lot....BP was still rising as of yesterday...
..coffee is my saviour in these times...
Look again Jim it says 500 twice daily that would be a Kilo. then goes down to 500 daily so that at least is a reduction of half a kilo. an improvement I think.Bubbsie, I just noticed that according to your signature you are taking 500 grams of Metformin per day. That’s half a kilo. No wonder you’re blood sugars are good
Sorry, I just noticed it and thought it was funny. I’m very sure you mean 500mg. Oh and I don’t know how to tag/mention
Hi Prem...I've had stable blood pressure for just over two years now...started off with 200/110 mid 2016 (which my GP missed) started on BP meds which I managed to ditch in January 2017...since then usually 129/78...my morning routine hasn't changed...I always start with coffee...I'm taking readings at different times of the day...it seems to rise steadily as the day progresses.Could the coffee be a cause of the higher BP readings?
Well if I had been taking 500 grams a day Jim I'd be complaining my BG wasn't lower...well spotted...odd you would raise that now...just about to stop taking the Metformin completely.Bubbsie, I just noticed that according to your signature you are taking 500 grams of Metformin per day.

Morning All. 6.7 today and no idea why. I hear heavy snow coming my way Tues/Wed so better get ready. Lots of errands to do today and chase the elusive roofer whose work before Christmas didnt stop the leak! Hope you all have a more exciting day.
@johnpol hope the cold gets better, lovely news about fossie dog.
Have a good Monday. Stay well, get better, stay safe.

Morning Mr lahey
if you place the ampersand @..and then begin typing the persons avatar name, (minimum of 3 letters)
the system will show you matching pics..usually i need to add a few more letter before it shows the person i need.
..sort of @Jim Lahey
best of luck on your visit @OrsonKartt ..I've got a lot of reading to do from the url's you good people have left in your posts but just reporting in . A flat 6 this morning. I have the diabetic eye screening appointment this morning, so will be seeing bright lights for a few hours. Have a good day all
I take Warfarin (indefinitely) Jim...every time I change medication whether stopping or starting it my INR levels change dramatically...it happened with the BP meds...when I ditched the 2nd dose of Metformin...so I'm waiting for them to be stable for at least three consecutive appointments...going to the anti coagulant clinic weekly atm...once I get those appointments extended the last Metformin will go.Ha! Spooky. That’s great. Best of luck. I’m sure you’ll be fine. Honestly 500mg probably isn’t doing a whole lot anyway. When I quit my final half-kilo of Metformin I saw very slightly raised fasting numbers but nothing to worry about.
