Mine was 87 mg/dl this a.m. but I now have areas of brown pigmentation on the lower legs. Is this indicative of T2D trouble?

I'm new here. Diagnosed T2 august this year. Lost 10kgs quite easily, but numbers still often too high
Not wanting to do metformin - but seem pretty reactive to all carbs, even tiny cherry tomatoes tonight

Hello, @Lionel12.
That reading is fine, normal. Not sure about the pigmentation. Are you on any meds, and have you any other symptoms? I am not sure that we are best placed to advise, but maybe a question in a thread of your own will bring wider response.

Why do you not want to try Metformin?
