Metformin SR 500mg x2 (down from 3 - self changed), Jardiance 25mg | Freestyle Libre Sensor Flash Glucose Monitor (not strips) - FBG, Pre/post Exercise, before & twice after meals, bedtime) | Carb count on MyFitnessPal
Last couple of blood tests - results not handed over for comparison by surgery.
2020 - control generally good via meds, LCHF wherever possible, monitoring with Freestyle Libre, regular exercise regime. - Loading...
