[QUOTE="cocacola, post: 127323, member: 22801"] Hi Sara, I can tell by my own experience that does not work. I was of the same opinion for 2 years. Took the metformin, ate what I wanted and my BG levels gradually crept up. I recently had a Hb1Ac test of 7.6 which isn't good for me. My GP put me on sitigliptin as well as my usual metformin. I finally decided to do a bit more research and cut back on the junk food in my diet. I have reduced the amount of carbs in my diet. I now eat low carb pasta, a small amount of rice with my meals. Only 2 slices of wholemeal bread a day, 2 small new potatoes with meals etc. I had an Hb1Ac result back today and with the combination of the new meds and the more sensible diet I am down to 6.5 :mrgreen: And that is within only 4 weeks. Do you test daily with a meter? I think this is the only way of knowing how certain foods affects your BG. Try it and see. [/QUOTE]
