I was diagnosed T2 in Oct 19. Initial read was 96 which is double the safety of 48.
With Metformin I took it with my meal , tested two hours later and reads were ok. Chicken thighs ere my popular choice and a few oven chips.
Morning I always had a fat free yoghurt.
After 3 months I had a second blood test and read was 48. Cholesterol went down from 6.8 to 3.5. BP was 218 .. yes 218/118 - this went down to 120/80.
My changes, gave up binge drinking full sugar pepsi, one roast dinner a week, one take away like a small kebab. Drank sugar free vimto as a juice drink.
These changes have worked and now reducing my Metformin intake to two. If my next reset is similar.. I will be coming off it as I will successfully have reversed it.
