    Hi, I was diagnosed type 2 in 2012, a few months after having had a suspected case of pancreatitis. Started off with diet, but am now on Metformin. Recently my Hba1c has crept up to 7.9 (63) so Dr wants to up meds. I love all forms of crafting. I started painting in...

    What's your post lunch blood sugar level this afternoon?

    I've been feeling unwell for a few days, so I decided to test an hour or so after my breakfast (13.2) I rarely test, because I've been led to believe that testing is not needed when you are on Metformin.
