At the end of October I got a wake up call from my DN , though diagnosed a few years ago I didn't take Diabetes seriously for numerous stupid reasons, when she tested my sugar levels it was 21, she gave me a monitor and told me to test twice daily and adjusted the medication I was on so I now take 2 Metformin SR 500g and 1 Onglyza 5 mg, my first fasting blood test was 17...... nearly a month on with a huge diet change as in very low carbs most mornings my BS level is in the 8's or low 9's which is loads better, but how do I get it lower or will it take time to gradually come down, I am losing weight very slowly and I know slowly is best, though with cutting out all naughty carbs I thought I would have lost more, I have lost about 8lbs in the last month, any advice on how to reduce my levels more or should I be patient and wait
