I'm a T2, diagnosed roughly 2 years ago, taking 2x 500mg per day - one with breakfast and one with my evening meal. I now want to reduce my Metformin dose to 1 tablet a day, but don't know whether to cut out the morning or evening one. I would like to start my new 'regime' now, but my dilemma is that I am due for an ankle operation in November followed by 2 months in plaster which will mean a total change to my current active lifestyle. Am I over-thinking this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know how much information you peeps need on which to base your advice, so here's some 'lifestyle' details just in case: the four HbA1cs I've had done since DX have been either 5.3 or 5.4, my control is good but I do go hypo if I don't eat, I exercise a lot (swimming/gym/walking), I've lost a lot of weight but could still do with losing another couple of stone, I am fortunate in that I can still tolerate quite a lot of carbs (compared to some people) so have 3 slices of toast for breakfast (Hovis Seed Sensations Rich & Roasted - ymmy ) a low carb lunch then potatoes/rice/pasta for supper. I test BGs and keep food diaries when necessary.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
