An uncomfortable 3.4 this morning. I've restarted my metformin and it makes a big difference to my insulin need.
It's been a rollercoaster since stopping insulin and metformin for those few hours. (No met for 3 days).

you´ll only know the real difference after a week without ... because there is also a long term effect on blood levels not only on the emediate morning fasting blood glucose... don´t judge from only a few days unless your numbers skyrockets
I totally agree with @Freema @srobertson06 . Although many do give up metformin as it can only help with bgs by 2-3mmol/l improvement. Myself I get more than lower bgs from metformin. It works for me. Hormonally.
