Sorry, I've updated it. I don't know where the insulin reference comes from .

I've been on Metaformin (2 x 1000mg daily) for over a week now and my glucose levels almost look like a non diabetics? Is this normal? I have gone on a low carb diet, but have had the odd beer, and a roast potato on occasion! The small piece of birthday cake is the only sweet thing I have had...

Thanks, I weigh 96kg, I was 98kg just over a week ago! ;)

I've been testing for over four days now, and my levels are a bit random So far I've learnt I can't eat brown pasta, red wine seems ok and berries cause a mild spike! My HbA1c was 72 last week when diagnosed. (approx 9 mmol/l?)
