5.6 two and a half hours after. OK with that. Would have been higher before metformin. Didn't know about the blueberries though. Thought all fruit was ok as long as not in a can with syrup! Will check out the low carb diet then. Thanks for the advice all.

Agreed. And the Metformin seems to have suppressed my appetite for them so that's good. The contradictory symptoms seem to have gone as well. Slept 6 hours last night and wasn't desperate for the loo when I awoke. No parched mouth either and bg of 6.6. so it seems the effects were just...
