Eat low carb and go for lots of walks. That seems to be the key :) May 15, 2017

        Thank you - Certainly less hungry - looking back over the winter I had really been eating a lot - snacking a lot all evening

        I've been taking 500mg SR met for a week - upped it to 100mg today. But I got a big drop in BGS before starting the met
