[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2450323, member: 401801"] "Also mentioned about taking the Metformin which i dont really want to take but think i will try and see if they agree with me or not but these keep should keep my levels down if i do have too many carbs (is this true?)"... That's not how metformin works. It can increase insulin sensitivity a little, and it mainly tells your liver not to dump as much glucose as it normally would (up to 75% less). It doesn't really do anything about what you eat. Sorry. :( I hope you have more luck with the dietician than I had with mine. If I'd followed their advice I'd either be dead or on insulin. When advice contradicts, just use your meter to see what's true and working for you, it won't steer you wrong. [/QUOTE]
