[QUOTE="Neohdiver, post: 1038508, member: 258692"] That seems to me like a very low dose of metformin for the numbers you are reporting - if you are expecting medication to make the difference. It is the same dose I'm on, and I was around 8.7 mmol/L (average) at diagnosis. If I recall correctly, it was about 3 weeks before the medication (rather than diet) seemed to make a difference - and the only difference was that my fasting blood glucose finally dropped into the normal range. FWIW, the vast majority of what allows me to control my blood glucose is excessive testing and elimination from my diet of foods that elevate my blood sugar. [/QUOTE]
